Movie Reviews of Night Moves
Movie Review: Slow Boat to China
Summary: 3 Stars
I had noticed "Night Moves" inclusion in the "New York Times Best 1000 Movies". I like a good detective movie and I was looking forward to seeing it which I did last night. I was disappointed in the movie. In all fairness, my disappointment was borne in high expectations. However, I found the plot unnecessarily complicated (many will probably like this aspect). The characters were too much. Our hero, for example, is a former All-Pro football player. Except for some access issues that could have easily been re-scripted to create the same scenarios, there was no need to create such an esoteric facet. We are treated to analysis of the private detective's incomplete relationship with his father which also took us aimlessly down a dead end. I could go on and on but the ending really caught me off guard. It wasn't until today I realized how impressive the conclusion was. The closing scene is of a small boat at sea. A person struggles to get the engine started. With great difficulty, this person is finally able to get the motor up to speed but was unable to steer the boat or see in what direction it was headed. I understood that the director was confessing his inadequacies. For such a marvelously symbolic statement, I gratefully offer him my absolution.
