Movie Reviews of Ordinary Decent Criminal

Movie Review: It's fun to cheer for the bad guy!
Summary: 4 Stars

While it's not the best 'cheer for the criminal' movie I've ever seen it is still fun. My only complaint is that Colin Ferrell's part is so small. It's entertaining, although it is a bit dark at times. I would recomend it for anyone who is a fan of Boondock Saints or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, as it's very much in the same vein as these films. Kevin Spacey and Linda Florintino are great as usual. it's tons of fun to watch Spacey's character run the poice around in circles. So if you're in the mood for a smart criminal drama I think Ordinary Decent Criminal is a great pic at least for a rental.

Movie Review: great entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars

Have just seen this dvd and was thoroughtly entertained. Kevin Spacey is one of today's greatest screen actors and this in itself was enough to make the experience good. However I really liked the way the director played the story out and the supporting cast was good too.

Movie Review: Just a head's up . . .
Summary: 3 Stars

. . .more than a review. This is a good movie. To me, Kevin Spacey opens a film. His performances make even a mediocre film worth watching (and owning on DVD). The story is good, and not everything can be another "Se7en" or "American Beauty." Nevertheless, if you are a Spacey fan, check it out.

But my real reason for posting a review was to give the head's up to any Colin Farrell fans out there . . . he's been getting a following lately, and the DVD tries to jump on that by putting him on its cover. If that entices you to pick it up as you are fresh from seeing his stellar performance in "The Recruit" or want more of his hometown accent that was offered as Bullseye, you will be sorely displeased. Mr. Farrell has no more than 5 lines in the film.

Movie Review: Waste of time for non-Spacey fans.
Summary: 3 Stars

I rented this movie solely because I'm a huge fan of Kevin Spacey, and as such, I was pleased by some of the film. But its unnecessary length, its poor plotline that never seemed to get anywhere, and the strange atmosphere of the film (which ranged from tragic to light-hearted, cancelling out any real message) were simply too overpowering to make this a good movie. Plus, the ratio of time on a motorcycle to time developing a plot was probably 8:1. I know it's a true story, but some true stories just aren't worth telling, and this might be one of them.
