Movie Reviews of The January Man
Movie Review: A Man for all Seasons
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're like me, ever seeking ALAN RICKMAN films, like they're the Holy Grail... then, this film will be a good addition to your collection. We couldn't ask for a better cast and story line. There's a good mix of sarcasm, intimidation, and deceit in this comedic approach to serial killings. It's a dated film, but still offers the level of entertainment we're accustomed to now. Alan Rickman's character wasn't on the screen as much as I would've liked. As he's articulated in the past, there is no such thing as a small part... only small actors. He delivers THE BEST as always.
Summary of The January Man
Oscar?(r) winners* Kevin Kline and Susan Sarandon team with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Danny Aiello, Rod Steiger and Alan Rickman for this intense thriller about a serial killer on the loose in Manhattan. Directed by Pat O'Connor (Sweet November, Inventing the Abbotts) and written by Academy Award?(r) winner** John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck), The January Man is an edge-of-your-seat suspense ride that'll prey on your thoughts as well as your fears. Ex-cop Nick Starkey (Kline) is the only man in New York brilliant enough to find a viciousserial killer. But returning to his job is as complicated an undertaking as nabbing the culprit. Forced to work alongside the brother (Keitel) who fired him, Nick also has to come to terms with the ex-girlfriend (Sarandon) who married his brother, and the mayor's young daughter (Mastrantonio) who'sfallen in love with him. But with time running out and everyone counting on him, Nick sets aside his personal turmoil to root out the killer until that, too, involves a personal stake he'll never be able to accept losing. *Kline: Supporting Actor, A Fish Called Wanda (1988); Sarandon: Actress, Dead Man Walking (1995) **1987: Screenplay Written Directly for the ScreenIt's New Year's Eve and a serial killer stalks the streets of New York, looking for his next victim. Under pressure from the public and the press, Police Commissioner Frank Starkey (Harvey Keitel) and the mayor (Rod Steiger) reinstate Starkey's brother Nick (Kevin Kline) in the force to track down the murderer. Nick was pressured to resign some years back and bad blood remains between him and his brother; almost immediately he rubs his superior (Danny Aiello) the wrong way when he turns his office into a sort of beatnik den. Flanked by his eccentric buddy (Alan Rickman) and the mayor's daughter (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), Starkey goes about running the killer down his own way. This film is a confused muddle--not funny enough to be a comedy, not suspenseful enough to be a taut cop thriller, and without enough chemistry to be a romantic drama. The excellent cast is adrift in a screenplay that throws in everything but the kitchen sink; Keitel, Steiger, and Aiello go completely apoplectic every time they're onscreen together (which should please fans of over-the-top acting). The first screenplay by John Patrick Shanley after his Oscar win for Moonstruck is hardly cut of the same cloth. --Jerry Renshaw
