Movie Reviews of The Real McCoy
Movie Review: Nice trademark Mulcahy visuals but substance is lacking...
Summary: 2 Stars
This 1993 film by legendary Australian film director Russell Mulcahy is unfortunately like much of his later work: A missed opportunity.
As usual with Mulcahy's work it is the visuals here that really keep you watching along with imaginative staging and great editing.
The script isn't all that bad either the basic plot is as follows:
A woman is released from prison, an expert bank robber who wants to settle down and go straight, but her parole officer and her former employer try to get her to pull one more heist.
The main problem I think the film has is the unimaginative performace given by leading actress Kim Basinger. She is not as sexy in this film as she can be, she is not as interesting as she can be and in fact she looks bored.
Val Kilmer offers a little bit of comedic relief but eventually grows tiresome as the film enters it's final act.
I'd give this film two out of five.
Movie Review: Boring
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't even consider this film unless you're obsessed with Kim Basinger or Val Kilmer. I saw it in 1993 and again last year and I had forgotten how boring it was. Now I remember. I wondered what the heck was the purpose for making this film. Kim was on a roll that year I can remember. She'd just finished filming the remake of The Getaway with her then hubby Alec Baldwin. Now that's a good film right there. I like Kim Basinger but not in this. No one seemed to. Along with John Cusack's " Money for Nothing ", " The Real McCoy " was the most overlooked film of the year. I miss 1993, but not when it comes to bad films like this. This should have never been made. Shame on them. Shame.
