Movie Reviews of Clay Pigeons
Movie Review: Winning performances from a solid cast in this dark comedy / psychological thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
Clay Pigeons manages to combine the best of the dark comedy and psychological thriller genres, something that rarely works well (11:14 and The Boondock Saints might be two other good examples). It's hands-down my favorite Vince Vaughn performance. He plays a creepy lady killer (in the literal sense) with a charming twang and boisterous attitude. As a viewer, I found myself empathizing with women who fall for serial killers!
Vince Vaughn plays the foil to small town boy Clay (Joaquin Phoenix), a nice kid who gets tangled up in a web of lies stemming from a desire to cover-up one romantic indiscretion. In shocking succession, Vaughn's cowboy character racks up a series of murders and gotchas for the innocent Clay. Toss in a sheriff who is straight out of Mayberry and a no-nonsense FBI investigator who occasionally imbibes in marijuana (Janeane Garofalo), and you've got a gripping crime story full of twists and comedic turns.
Movie Review: One Super Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
Clay Pigeons is a quirky modern Western with the bad guy wearing the white
hat. The boots, jeans, flannel shirts, pick 'em up trucks, and Big Sky
Country give it a distinctive coloring that is pure Americana. I think it
is a serial killer who-done-it on its way to being a cult classic. Vince
Vaughn's range as an actor is showcased here. I couldn't take my eyes off
him and couldn't wait for him to be back on-screen. Joaquin Phoenix plays
the small-town rube to perfection. In fact, all the actors give nuanced
performances that just take you in and make you feel right at home. I
gave it five stars because it's the kind of movie I will watch over and over, finding new details to revel in each time I see it.
Movie Review: Fantastic noir
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great collection of performances. Normally I can't stand Janeane Garofalo but she's amazing in this and she's the least amazing of the performances. Both Vince Vaughn and Jaquin Phoenix are simply at their best. Vaughn has such a perfectly disturbing blend of best friend and guy who would hack you to pieces if need be. Absolutely great to see him in something with something he can chew on. Phoenix does a great job as the scared rabbit caught in the middle of the twister ravaging the town. Finally the score to this is pitch perfect. It's a great all around film for those who like their comedies dark and biting but still with plenty of personality.Movie Review: Clay Pigeons

I liked this movie! This was the first movie I saw Joaquin Phoenix in and without him the movie would not have been a success. He was perfect for this role. THis is the second movie I saw Vince Vaughn in other than Psycho. He played a perfect manipulating psycho path and truly makes the film. Vince, Joaquin and Janeane Garofalo have perfect chemistry for this movie! I also liked the way the movie was directed. Very entertaining and a keeper for my movie collection.Movie Review: Clay Pigeons
Summary: 5 Stars
First movie I actually liked Joaquin Phoenix. He plays this guy with mixed up morals who then gets involved with people even more mixed up than him. Everything just spirals into a huge mess for Joaquin's character. Pokes fun at small-town life but not in a false manner. Good dark comedy.
