Movie Reviews of Amos & Andrew
Movie Review: Amos and Andrew
Summary: 2 Stars
I've remember seeing the poster in a video store way back when and i've always wanted to watch it, not knowing what it was even about. I'll give you a brief run down of the film
A man moves into a racist, island community. I say racist because a couple calls the cops when a black man moves in, thinking he is stealing the home. The police straight (acting straight from a police academy movie) and they shoot up the guy's house and realize there mistake after a few minutes. They got a camera crew filming the entire event. They get an ex-con to come in and make it look like a hostage sitution, in return for his freedom. The two bond and well this movie is just plain flat. Everything is predictable and while the acting is not bad, it's far from either mans best role. I don't recommend it too anyone. It's not like anyone remembers it anyways.
Movie Review: pretty dull comedy
Summary: 2 Stars
This isn't a BAD movie, but it's not that great either. The whole situation with Samuel Jackson being mistaken for a thief while moving into his house due to the prejudices of the community starts out the film with some decent humor, but once the addition of real crook Nicolas Cage comes in to do cleanup for the chief the story just feels sloppy. Cage and Jackson are A+ as always, really good acting and tremendous fun watching them interact, but it's just not that well written. It could have been much better, but as it is, it is merely okay, having been saved by the great tension and chemistry between Jackson and Cage.
