Different, if not entirely unique
I watched Arthur Newman simply because I found it by accident. While it’s not the best film I’ve seen, I do believe everyone did a credible job with very little material. Colin Firth and Emily Blunt are good, doing the best they could with the somewhat underdeveloped characters. However, I feel the characters are presented as such on purpose, to make of them what we personally will.The film moves slowly, but is in no way boring. An experienced film buff would be fine with its pace and be relatively engaged in the story line as well.
Arthur Newman is not for a generic audience. It requires a specific taste in films to be enjoyed for what it is – a thought-provoking story
So Unrealistic! 3/10
Review: I found this storyline to be weak and a bit silly. If your going to fake your own death, surely your going to change the way you look and try and keep undercover. Anyway, the director really didn’t think the whole storyline through and the acting, from these 2 A-listers, wasn’t that terrific. The way that Colin Firth’s character thoroughly planned his own death to become a golf pro, ditching his son in the process, was a recipe for disaster right from the beginning and when Blunts character was added to the mix, it just made things worse. The love story was predictable and the ending was very sketchy. Basically the director left it up to the audience to make up there own mind about Firth’s character returning to reality, which could have been written much better. Anyway, I did loose interest halfway through the movie and I struggled to keep my eyes open. Disappointing!Round-Up: Colin Firth’s career really does have it’s up and downs. After winning the Oscar for The King’s Speech, which he did deserve, and starring in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, he hasn’t really starred in any major roles. With the release of Before I Go To Sleep coming out soon, maybe this will bring him back to the limelight. Emily Blunt seems to act the same in all of her movies, but she has been cast in some big budget blockbusters. From The Devil Wears Prada to the Edge Of Tomorrow, I doubt that this low budget movie will damage her career. As the movie is based around these 2 characters, there isn’t that much to say about the rest of the cast, but I was expecting something better from these 2 major stars.
Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $208,000 (Terrible!)
I recommend this movie to people who are into there dramas about a man faking his own death to work in a gold club. 3/10
