Movie Reviews of Boarding Gate
Movie Review: i have seen all the asia argento movies this one is a dud
Summary: 2 Stars
Michael Madsen kinda made watchen it a chore, is voice can hardly be heard ...find it hard to hear with the volume cranked up....you mite need a Michael Madsen translator?
the story is a little to basic , found it hard to stay awake, not worth watchen twice ..rent if you want to Review: Nice DVD Jacket, Which Tells You Nothing About the Film
Summary: 1 Stars The greatest thing about "Boarding Gate" is its poster. Whoever made the poster and DVD jacket of the film knows the film's only merit: Asia Argento. The film has nothing to offer but her acting, which is impressive considering the mess she is in.
First you must know a few things about Asia Argento's role Sandra because "Boarding Gate" may be tagged as "Thriller," her character is neither professional assassin nor femme fatale. She is just an ordinary woman trapped between men and their intrigues. I mean, two bad men.
One of them is Miles played by Michael Madsen. The film opens with Sandra and Miles in his office, and long dialogues between Sandra and Miles suggest their past relationship and the underground business of Miles who used her for money. Their uninteresting talk goes on and on, never getting to the point. But what is the point? The film barely passes the 10 minute mark, but you start to think: Who cares?
But you still need to sit through the terribly drawn-out story of a woman who "lost control"; another man and a drug deal; a married Chinese couple; and dead bodies and escape in Hong Kong. Writer/director Olivier Assayas, as he did in "Demonlover," tries to say something about the dark side of humanity in modern civilization. What he is trying to say with his convoluted screenplay is all-too-familiar, however, and his pretentious direction only reveals the film's emptiness.
Anyone who loves Asia Argento should see "B. Monkey." It is not the greatest thriller, but at least it knows what it is doing. And the poster is great.
Movie Review: Snoozeville
Summary: 1 Stars
This flick looked kinda sexy and part of it was to have taken place in Hong Kong! Unfortunately this B grade casts' leaden delivery etc... (some idiotic lines delivered by Michael Madsen) forced me to grab the remote and hit STOP! I never even made it to HK. Do yourself a favor. Stay away from this one.
