A Bleak Winter,,,,,Fargo-Lite
This is one of those slightly odd-ball heist movies which manages to carry off the down beat vibe and still be more-or-less convincing. Think of it as a Fargo-lite. Gordon-Lovett, following on from his excellent turn in “Brick”,plays a College Ice Hockey star player, whose reckless “gift” to his girlfriend ends with her maimed and two other friends dead. Four years on, he is partially brain-damaged, confused and a self-loathing young man, going to “special needs” class to help deal with day-to-day tasks. No longer functioning as he was, he maintains a part-time janitor job at night in a small town bank. The nearest he gets to his dream ice hockey career now is using the mop as his stick and some urinal disinfectant blocks as pucks; shooting them into the waste bin. If he thought he had problems now; just wait until his new found “friend” reveals why everything in his life is starting to look up…. This has that mix of oddness that works for the most part, such as Gordon-Lovett’s dependence on his a blind friend and flat-mate; played really well by Jeff Daniels. The main bad guy has value, although the femme fatale, played by Isla Fisher is probably too good to be true- and her character arc is left open-ended.

Roped and corralled into helping to rob his bank, he starts to sense all in not right-but its too late to back out now………….

All in all, I really enjoyed this until the top-and-tail ending. In a few narrated scenes at the end, the writer conspires to undo a lot of the hard work. The writers pen is dropped for a broad stroke “rainbow” paintbrush , resolving a lot of issues quite flippantly and totally ignores others. Perhaps the director should have got a re-write, but as he and the writer are one and the same, this was not to be!

Still, it was a good character driven piece of film-making overall and Gordon-Lovett is one to watch. He also bears a striking resemblance to Heath Ledger both in appearance, as well as ability.

A far from typical heist movie
Chris Pratt was a successful high school ice hockey player with a successful future in front of him… until he turns off his lights while driving to admire the glow of the fireflies. He crashes into a stalled combine harvester and is left with a serious head injury, his girlfriend loses a leg and they stop seeing each other and two other friends are killed. Four years later he is working as a janitor in a rural bank and living with his blind friend Lewis. One day he is approached in a bar by a man named Gary who says he knew him in high school. He introduces Chris to his friends, including a girl who goes by the name of ‘Luvlee Lemons’ who seduces him. It isn’t long before their reason for befriending him becomes apparent; they want his help robbing the bank… things are going to get dangerous for Chris.

When I sat down to watch this I expected a fairly typical heist movie but it turned out to be far from typical. The opening scene was quite a shock despite not showing details of the accident and what follows was an introduction to Chris’s new life; classes to help deal with his impairment, his job, difficulties coping with simple things and his longing to see his old girlfriend again. Even after he meets Gary and Luvlee it is a while before it becomes obvious that they are planning to use him in a robbery. The robbery itself doesn’t last long but is intense and provides some shocks. There is a fairly bleak feel to the whole film; the fact that it is set in snow-covered surroundings only adds to this. The film contains plenty of interesting characters; Chris, with his difficulties, is far from a typical protagonist; his friend Ted, a sheriff’s deputy who appears to be a comedy character, turns out to be more interesting than expected and Luvlee is quite ambiguous. The cast is solid; most notably Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is rarely off screen and really impresses as Chris; Jeff Daniels is believable as his blind friend Lewis; Isla Fisher is a delight as Luvlee and Matthew Goode is solid as Gary. Overall I’d say this may not have been what I expected but it is definitely worth watching.
