Movie Reviews of Gloria
Movie Review: Classic "on the run" film
Summary: 5 Stars
Gena Rowlands, perfectly cast as Gloria, reluctantly takes a rather bratty little boy, marked for death, under her gangster moll wing as they flee from hitmen. Eventually, they grow on each other, just as this gritty and quirky film grows on the viewer. "Gloria" tells a classic, and dare I say, heartwarming love story of an unlikely duo, but never becomes treacly or sentimental.
Summary of Gloria
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/27/2008 Run time: 121 minutes Rating: PgEven a genre film looks different in the hands of writer-director John Cassavetes. In this one, he casts a wonderfully hard-boiled Gena Rowlands as the title character: a former Mob moll who picked up a few tricks along the way. She becomes the unexpected guardian of a young boy (John Adames) who has just seen his parents wiped out. Worse, the Mob is after him as well, seeking a book he has--and the overdue fine is a killer. Though Cassavetes lets his actors have a little too much rein, it pays off in the complex--and surprisingly funny--performance by Rowlands as an unlikely nanny who discovers that, though she is an unwilling bodyguard, she actually learns to care for the tough little guy she's trying to keep out of harm's way. --Marshall Fine
