Reviews:

Central Park is now private property… for 72 hours.
Think of Rambo, but more tone down in the violence and having a political angle focusing on how certain situations / individuals are undeservedly swept under the rug. ‘The Park is Mine’ is a passable, up-tempo little made-for-TV feature. Even with it’s firework shows, expensive set-up and unique setting with , it’s still merely low scale where at the heart it’s all about the one man standing up for the underprivileged. At times it can manipulate, but manages to be respectable and hardly overwrought. It can be a fascinating tussle between Tommy Lee Jones’ character and political big-heads, as what eventuates is a circus-show for the crowds and media. Some actions are a bit unbelievable; however you seem to take it with a grain of slat.

A Vietnam veteran takes over the plans of his now deceased war-time buddy (who committed suicide) who had thought-up an idea to take over Central Park for 72 hours, before Veterans Day. He eventually goes ahead and sets the plan in motion, where he doesn’t intend to hurt anyone, but to only grab everyone’s attention. However some powerful figures don’t like this and try to change the situation (by any dirty means) in their favour, so society don’t side with the vet and paint them in the wrong. Also a media reporter also finds herself caught up in it all when she tries to get closer to the action.

His definitely gotta plan. Packed with ammo, a lot of ammo. The material is formulaic, but tactically trimmed to suit Steven Hilliard Stern’s tidy direction and sustained tension. I found it to get better the further along it goes, as the tricks and themes turn to the real thing. ‘The Tangerine Dream’ contributes a bellowing score that overwhelms the joint, but I don’t believe to be as bad as a lot seem to make sound. Performances shape up pretty well. Tommy Lee Jones superbly instills a hard, tough shell to his character, but one we can feel and root for too. He’s no troublesome, or unstable person, but someone that just wants to make a difference. A wonderfully affable Helen Shaver adds plenty of kick to her role and Yaphet Kotto provides some serious class. Lawrence Dane is picture-perfect as the scummy Commissioner.

Horrible Plot Premise…
The whole premise of this movie is really pretty stupid. Not so much the simple idea of holding a park illegally for a time as some sort of social statement, which to me seems only stupid, insane and pointless from the characters point of view, but especially the idea that the place was able to be so perfectly trapped without the guy getting caught over the length of a year. Firstly most of the traps are right out in the open, and there’s no way these would have gone undetected in this time: roadside bombs, bombs in car trunks, dug out pits for people to fall into, bombs all over the forrested areas. To put that in perspective, he would have to be carrying hundreds of detonators with him; prety laughbale and hard to keep track of. Secondly, half of them are just so conveniently at the right place at the right time as is Mitch in order to defend himself.

If not the worst aspect though, then at least no less damning to the film, is the reaction of the police. They don’t even TRY to reason with him. He doesn’t even have any hostages, has made no threats, and has asked for no ransom, and the police forces recklessly break into the park and launch assault after assault on him, risking many lives, clearly for cheap entertainment value, because honestly if this film was even slightly realistic, it would be pretty damn boring from THIS director, who I doubt could really capture much emotional depth which this movie for the mostpart fails to do aside from a few little contrived moments.

I decided to check this movie out just to see what they came up with, but in the end it really was not worth it. Don’t bother with this film unless you’re a Tommy Lee Jones fan who in fact does act the part fairly well. Instead, watch a REAL hostage type film like “Dog Day Afternoon”, you’ll likely be much less disappointed.
