Suicide Movie Reviews

best regards

PS: very nice movies......if you like Tarantino

Suicide Kings: 4 Stars, Highly Underated thriller that deserves to be more Widely Seen (as does a lot of Sean Patrick Flannery's work eg. "Body Shots" and "The Boondock Saints"). Exception cast make a good film Great.

Killing Zoe: 3 stars, a downer but still efective. Eric Stoltz and Julie Delpy can make Anything watchable.

In Conclusion, 3 very worthy thrillers to add to Any Self Respecting movie fans collection.

The plot revolves around the humorous misadventures of a hapless valet (Dale Paris) and a dangerous blonde(Beautiful and Sexy Angel Boris), co-starring a cast of colorful oddball chracters- Pepo and His Gang - Dogbreath (Bob Deacon a regular on the new hit TV series "Karen Cisco" = Achmed The Convenience Store Clerk = Skinnyman = Mr.Lovaglio (played by Mr. Schnozzercam himself "WIllie Blanco") = The Scorpian = and a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, ( which is currently for sale and advertised at the end of the credits ). One of the best directorial debuts by director Edwardo Carrillo since Robert Rodriguez's "El Mariachi". A brilliantly humorous performance by Tony Pachecho, as the lead Latin Gangster " Pepo Duran ", and his three Marx Brotherish cohorts. Has the potential to become a "Cult Classic". Some cool extras check out "Behind The Blonde" on the DVD. The more times you watch this film the better it gets. A gem in the ruff. A very unconventional Love Story. Highly reccommended. Colorful, Action filled, humourous,offbeat and very entertaining. Check It Out !

What we have here is a crime conspiracy mystery/potboiler the caliber of "The Usual Suspects" that features a spectacular ensemble cast of young male actors, offset by good veteran character actors (including Denis Leary, executing a terrific turn as the Cam Neely of bodyguards/hitmen, having as much a heart of gold as a vicious mean streak). But of course the thing that really makes this movie go is Christopher Walken, as effective in this role as any he's ever held. You could almost believe his role is an older, somewhat more mellow version of the mob caporegime he portrayed in 1993's "True Romance", longsince having made it to full boss and retirement to respectability. The plot revolves around his kidnapping by the aforementioned youthful ensemble cast in an attempt to cash in on a kidnapping/ransom scheme; the fact that Walken spends most of the movie taped to a chair and bleeding profusely, yet still unquestionably maintains the upper hand within his situation and exudes the air of pure menace only lends further testimony to Walken's stature as one of the finest actors of our time, often relegated to the status of cult films icon and undercredited for the sheer magnificence of his ability (it is easy to forget that his performance in the now 25-year old "The Deer Hunter" warranted him the Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor", after all).

The plot resolution is not necessarily new and can be easily enough fleshed out at the first viewing if you're more inclined to spend your time solving the mystery as opposed to just enjoying the actors' performances, but it still detracts in no way from this extremely stylish movie involving a very fluid and fast-paced narrative interspersed with several flashback sequences dating back from a period of several days to twenty-something years. The only disappointing aspect of this movie in my view was that Jay Mohr was not given the chance to further immortalize his own brilliant and hilarious imitation of Christopher Walken in the final print; how could this movie have been made without exploiting that obvious comedic opportunity?

Great showcase performances most of the characters. Galicki as the wet-behind-the-ears Ira and Jay Mohr as the smart-mouthed control-freak were fabulous. Henry Thomas was solid but not stellar (more the script's fault than his acting). The set designs and script make this film feel like an on-stage drama. Fine balance of tragedy and comedy.

The audio quality is very poor for a DVD, but tolerable, especially considering the basement price. ...

The story is melodramatic but Masahiro Shinoda's cinematography transforms this simple story into a universal drama by adding a prologue and an epilogue that I let you discover by yourselves. Another interesting idea from the director is to imagine that the men who traditionally handle the puppets would appear on the screen. Invisible for the characters, these men dressed in black will cross the path of the heroes and become for us a symbol of the Fate that doesn't leave the slightest chance to the unfortunate lovers.

I don't recommend this movie to those of you who are not familiar with japanese movies but I'm sure that the curious ones will appreciate DOUBLE SUICIDE and its stunning cinematography. Superb copy with only a Claire Johnston essay as bonus feature.

A DVD zone rising sun.

My response is to judge the film on its own merits. If it weren't for Criterion, I probably never would have heard of this film, and I certainly never would have seen such a luminous transfer. The film is beautiful and strange, and warrants multiple viewings.

Critics of the lack of extras should also note that the more "bare-bones" Criterion discs are priced less than the fully-packed ones.

I think Criterion did a really great job with this wonderful film.

The story itself is heartwarming and fun. It lifts my spirits and keeps me laughing every time I watch. It is a good escape for me. I recommend it to anyone who has ever felt depressed about lifes circumstances.
