Movie Reviews of The Drowning Pool
Movie Review: Movie review
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie, a classic and will always be in rememberance of Paul Newman who is one helluva actor.Movie Review: It's Paul Newman
Summary: 4 Stars
Probably not his best work, but still very watchable and enjoyable especially as he was opposite his wife Joanne Woodward. Movie is very representative of New Orleans in late 60's / early 70's. Newman's character 'Harper' continues.Movie Review: Darker Than Harper
Summary: 3 Stars
Harper returns and he's transported to New Orleans with his 60s cool traded in for 70s cynicism. There's great location shooting throughout. It's interesting, but it's doesn't have the resonance of Night Moves or The Long Goodbye. This seems like a warm up for The Color of Money where Paul would go deeper with the same idea. (Is he the only star to revisit a role decades apart where it wasn't just a stunt?) There are also shades of Long Hot Summer with Joanne and Tony Franciosa breaking out their Southern drawls, and when Harper finds a suicide near the end it echoes The Hustler.Movie Review: IT'S NO CHINATOWN
Summary: 2 Stars
17-year-old Melanie Griffith walking around braless, and trying to sleep with Paul Newman. She's a small part of the plot involving corruption about a multi-million dollar oil deal.
Kinda slow moving, but watchable, though some scenes are photographed too dark, or a bad video transfer.
And there's also a james bond moment when Newman is knocked out, to wake up in a mental hospital, with Dr. Evil letting Newman alone----to escape, of course.
