Movie Reviews of Uncovered
Movie Review: Not at all good
Summary: 2 Stars
The motivations of the characters were all over the place. Perhaps it's a "Spanish thing", but the male characters in particular are boorish and whiney in an instant - it's all...."I'll get you, you b***ch" one minute and then all lovey dovey with the same female character in the next scene - as if nothing dramatic had happened - you know, like attempted rape for instance.
It's a sad day to see a great actress like Sinead Cussack having to utter the, "You need to get laid" line and use the f-word a lot. Very sad indeed.
Also, the "plot"? Oh dear. Obvious is too obvious a word to use.
And as for the "selling point" of the DVD, the lovely Ms Beckinsale is a way more attractive and interesting in the recently released "Underworld" - here she just looks too young for the part. I'm reminded of the song "Jailbait" by Motorhead.
All in all, I'd say.....avoid this one.
Movie Review: Disappointing, though Beckinsale fans might find it worthwhile
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was made in the mid 1990s in Spain, it was directed by Jim McBride, based on a novel by Perez Reverte, and it stars a young Kate Beckinsale. Sounds promising? The movie's not. Basically, the plot has Beckinsale (with a boyish short hair cut) playing an art student in Barcelona, who finds that a flemish painting holds clues to some murder, or something. The whole thing is very dull, full with ridiculous situations and characters. The only thing to recommend for it is a couple of nude scenes by the young Kete (one in particular, with Kate topless for many seconds looking at a painting and sporting a grannie's panties is particularly memorable).Movie Review: Uncovered
Summary: 2 Stars
While restoring an old painting showing a woman and two men playing chess, Julia discovers the text "Who killed the knight" underneath the paint. The owner of the painting tells her that one of his forefathers was killed, the painting might identify the murderer. When Julia's friend is killed she understands that there is more to it. She consults Domenec, a chess genius who reconstructs the game from the painting. With any piece he takes, somebody dies. This movie is a very poor translation from the novel. If you enjoy laughing over a miserable attempt to make a mystery, then by all means, rent this one. B-movie at best, not Kates best, predictable.Movie Review: A guilty pleasure...
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is so bad its good. The story is stilted, and not at all complicated. The acting is over the top and the costumes are dreadful. It is however lovely to look at, and might as well be a travel guide to Barcelona, Spain. Made in the early nineties, you can tell, but it didn't hurt to watch. True it can't even see the good movies from where it's standing but you can glimpse a young Kate who is light years from her Underworld character.Movie Review: Pretentious and boring... Avoid...
Summary: 2 Stars
The problem with movie's reviews is that there is always someone to say a lot of very good things about even the most stupid and disappointing films... I have myself been a victim of that several times... Never buy a movie just because someone here wrote good things about it... Try to read what TIMEOUT for example says about the film...
