Reviews:

Fairly crappy Tarantino-wannabe movie. The movie is full of flashback mess. The plot is unintelligent to say the least. The opening scene is amateur evening and it doesn’t get better as the movie goes on.

I don’t understand why Bruce Willis lowered himself to this. He looks like shit in the movie and his role is really dumb. Probably Bruce Willis worst movie ever.

Tries so desperately to emulate _Pulp Fiction_, that it’s hard to say if _Catch .44_ would have been any good if it just tried to blaze its own trail. Seeing as it didn’t, this is the movie we have: One that falls just short of “Okay”.

_Final rating:★★ – Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

From ‘Die Hard’ to ‘Try Hard’
Quentin Tarrintino. There, I said it. I got it out the way straight away. It’s just you can’t really talk about Catch 44 without mentioning the man in some way. Catch 44 is so ‘Pulp Fiction inspired’ that you’ll be expecting Samuel L Jackson to pop up in a gimp mask at any time.

Instead of a predominantly male cast, Catch 44 centres on three female drug smugglers and what happens when one of their (supposedly routine) drop-offs goes very wrong. That’s about the extent of the plot. I’ve read in other reviews phrases like ‘the film stretches a single scene out for the entire ninety minutes.’ And they’re not far off it.

The whole film is – technically – set in a diner (the location for the illegal exchange). What other parts of the film come in flashbacks and repeats of the initial scene, over and over again. This has picked up more than a little criticism from some as being repetitive and annoying.

I didn’t think it was that bad. Granted, Catch 44 is no Pulp Fiction, but I found it entertaining enough to watch for an hour and a half. One thing you should know is that Bruce Willis (despite featuring heavily on all major advertising) is in it for about ten minutes. The story is mainly about the girls. Forest Whitaker does his best to inject some much-needed characterisation, but really, the lack of any forward momentum is the film’s major downfall.

My advice: know what you’re getting. This is no masterpiece, but it’s not quite as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. It just could have been a lot better, based on the star-power that seemed to be attached to the project.

Shoddy crime thriller that really thinks it’s something it isn’t
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Three female criminals are hired by a crime boss to intercept a drugs shipment for him, and find themselves holding up a roadside diner when things turn sour. But things of course don’t work out as planned, and lead girl Tes (Malin Akerman) finds herself in a tense stand off with cafe worker Billy (Shea Whigham) and the mysterious Ronny (Forest Whitaker)as everyone tries to get to the bottom of who is playing off who.

Bruce Willis is surely such an established, house hold name that no matter how much he gets on and younger stars take over roles he’d have been a shue-in for ten/twenty years ago, he could still have box office potential forever. Worryingly, this assertion may not be, strictly speaking, true, as perhaps he now needs to rely on old franchises that made him famous (a fifth Die Hard movie up and coming) to stay on the big screen, whilst now supplementing his income with roles in direct to DVD dross like this. Despite featuring prominently on the front cover, his screen time is fittingly limited in this misfiring crime caper, an over ambitious and under achieving dud with pretensions of Tarantino through out.

One can only think director Aaron Harvey watched Pulp Fiction on loop when he was younger, as he desperately and amateurishly tries to copy the master’s style here, with freeze frames where the character’s names blare up on the screen, through to the reverse story telling style that aims for smart and hip but just comes off as confused and disconcerting. It even tries to throw in clever in jokes (to wit, a scene where the girls play Willis’s Respect Yourself in the car, commenting on how great it sounds years on from the 80s) but which just goes to highlight it’s over ambition and delusions of grandeur.

As the second highest profile star of the film, Whitaker provides the film with it’s most predictable character and scenarios, as a deceptively simple sounding killer who seems to think he’s Tony Montana. But between them, they can’t elevate the film beyond a mild heart beat. **
