Summary: 5 Stars
Aside from its refreshingly stripped-down plot, MONTANA is a pretty complex film. I say this because it works on so many levels, and is essentially impossible to pigeonhole stylistically. I suppose it's a crime drama more than anything else, but it's also hilarious, very violent, and not without a healthy dose of action fireworks.
Kyra Sedgewick is amazing as Claire, the only female part of a syndicate of hitmen. Her partner and possible love interest is terminally ill Nick (also played to perfection by Stanley Tucci). In charge of the whole operation is The Boss (Robbie Coltrane), and his assistant, Duncan (Philip Seymour Hoffman). When the Boss's mistress, Kitty (Robin Tunney) runs off, he sends Claire and his son, Jimmy (Ethan Embry), to go retrieve her. Once they find her, Jimmy attempts to rape her, and with nothing else to lose, Kitty shoots him in the head. This, of course, puts Claire in a very bad position.
Every aspect of this film is great. The screenplay (by Erich and Jon Hoeber) is witty, quick, very real, and devoid of convention. Leitzes's direction is down-to-earth, but hardly amateurish, and again, lacking any indie arrogance or MTV trickery. And you couldn't ask for a better group of actors -- there's a real chemistry there.
MONTANA is not going to change your life, but it is a truly exceptional film, and should certainly be unearthed from obscurity.
Summary of Montana
Kyra Sedgwick Stanley Tucci Robbie Coltrane Robin Tunney and John Ritter star in this thriller about a professional hit woman targeted by her own organization. Claire (Sedgwick) is an accomplished assassin who gives her all to the boss (Coltrane). But when the boss gives Claire the low-level task of retrieving his runaway girlfriend Kitty Claire knows she's losing her juice. To make matters worse the girlfriend (Robin Tunney) commits a murder while in Claire's custody. Forced to flee her own syndicate Claire soon finds that Kitty is a femme fatale to be reckoned with. Bringing the offbeat excitement of Thelma & Louise to the gritty action of Goodfellas MONTANA delivers high-impact excitement.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:¬?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:¬?R UPC:¬?043396100596 Manufacturer No:¬?10059Similar DVD Movies
