    Unusual, Out-There...A Fine Mess

    "The Squeeze" is one of those movies that sadly doesn't work. Keaton's colorful performance can't save a convoluted script that tries to juggle wild comedy with thriller elements. There is a line in the climax that oddly summarized the film in a nutshell.

    "Its seems like your imagination has finally outpaced reality," one character says.

    It was so uncanny how well this phrase described the film that I began to think the writer, Daniel Tiplitz, was making a reference to himself! "The Squeeze" is a film with a realistic grounding, but is stuffed with outlandish, completely far-fetched ideas. Watching the film felt like viewing a dream of seeing the movie itself (if this makes any sense at all). I realized this when I tried describing scenes of the film and found it was much like describing a dream.

    It starts out pleasant enough with a shady poker game where Michael Keaton hilariously tries to bluff the other guys at the table, but doesn't manage to be the least bit convincing. It was an acceptable beginning, but things were thrown completely off course when he gets home to his apartment that has a large rhino made out of TV screens sitting in it!

    Anyway, Keaton gets mixed up with a young PI (Rae Dawn Chong) who uncovers lottery corruption. They try to piece a muddled mystery together, but the film is so out-there that the deeply buried story becomes lost. This isn't exactly a problem, however. I had an enormously fun time viewing the film, no matter how much it descends into bomb territory.

    Unfortunately, nothing can stop the fact that this is pretty bad movie. It has a confused story, needless characters and some overly-violent scenes.

    There is some fun to bad had here, and Michael Keaton is a riot as usual, but it simply doesn't work.

    Meat Loaf is as menacing as, well, meat loaf...

    This is an 80s action movie with a clunky plot about rigged lotteries. I put this in the same class as Jumpin Jack Flash. Both are mid 80s action comedies with clunky plots. They have no flow at all causing the movie to stall at times. That gets tedious. That's when you start noticing how your butt is getting numb in tue seat and the mind starts to wander like wondering if you should bother going to the bathroom or what you will eat later. Your mind looks for something, anything more interesting than what you are seeing.

    The unintentional comedy in this flick is Meat Loaf's portrayal of a mute psychopathic henchman. He manages the facial expressions and all but just being ugly doesn't make you a convincing bad guy. I think if he played it as someone trying to be friendly, it would have been 10 times more creepy and effective. He doesn't ruin the movie but he makes me laugh just looking at him. I think he was trying to be a little like Hugh Keays-Byrne in Mad Max with the staring.

    Michael Keaton is great in just about everything and he would go on to do better work. Rae Dawn Chong unfortunately is mostly only remembered for movies of this caliber because she didn't get too many leading roles later in her career. She is good in this. Actually, the overall cast is pretty good but I dont know, the script or directing or both fail in a major way.

    Movies Like These...

    It's movies like these that make me understand why Hollywood writers quit the biz or worse when there are potential masterpieces sitting a filing cabinet somewhere. I remember this was one of those movies that HBO played every other day after 8pm because the licensing was so cheap. I'm sure they never made their money back on this stinker. I get it. Michael Keaton was a hot commodity at the time. But good grief. And Meatloaf? Did he waive his paycheck for a role in the movie? Woof! I'm a big Keaton fan and this movie proves that you can be a big star, make a dud or two and then emerge as Batman. Hats off to you, Sir.

    Odd, but interesting

    I remember watching this years ago. It was one of several comedies Michael Keaton made in the 80's, but you can see him beginning to stretch a bit beyond his cornball comedy roles (e.g. Night Shift, Mr. Mom, Gung Ho, Johnny Dangerously). You can just see a hint of the dramatic (and dark) flair he would reveal a few years later in Beetle Juice and Batman.

    The movie itself is pretty contrived, although it has a great supporting cast. It was fun to see Meat Loaf (whose character is always sweaty, and carries around a battery-operated fan to keep cool) and John Davidson (who essentially plays...himself!).

    Mr. Whipple gives good advice; no, actually it's not that bad

    This might have made a good TV episode, and it's entertaining enough, but it's nothing special. If you were looking for chemistry between our two leads, let me put it this way. If good chemistry advances science without causing damage, Harry and Rachel working together are what happened to Ruben's club. That's not to say they don't have some good moments.

    There is potential for this to become a romantic buddy detective comedy. As I listened to an online radio station while typing this, I was hearing the theme from "Moonlighting", but this certainly isn't that. In fact, the movie takes a while to get to the point where it will achieve anything close to that.

    Michael Keaton is a respected actor. That's now. This was then. I'm not saying he's a bad actor, but he just doesn't show the potential here to become what he is now. He is likeable enough and shows a lot of intelligence.

    Rae Dawn Chong has her good moments. Her excitement over getting a major case is one of these. Rachel is tough and smart but cute.

    John Davidson is exactly what you might expect, a used car salesman type who is too full of himself.

    There is also a good-looking billionaire who created the device, but I don't remember his name. The actor did a good job.

    After something terrible happens at Ruben's club, an exciting chase through New York City, Staten Island and New Jersey results.

    The music in this movie is terrible 80s garbage, except for all the great music toward the end with the major lotto prize giveaway. But one of the performers of the bad music actually does an impressive job as an actor in the film. Meat Loaf is the frightening tough guy Titus, who doesn't say any words other than interjections such as "Ow" until his final scene. where he says one intelligent sentence. With little more than an evil smile, he manages to be one of this movie's standout characters. I don't remember his partner's name but he's good too.

    The scenes leading to the climax are quite entertaining.

    Yes, it's formula. No, it doesn't quite achieve anything remarkable. But I was entertained.

    • Anecdotes
      During the production, veteran stuntman Victor Magnotta drowned while performing a car stunt in which the auto was driven off a Hoboken, New Jersey pier and plunged into the Hudson River. Vic's untimely death (in his early forties) was the result of several miscalculations. The car was supposed to run off the end of the pier, flat-splash in the Hudson, and sink slowly, but the vehicle had been stripped of all excess weight, including the gas tank. There was a small canister tank under the hood with just enough fuel to pull off the stunt, because environmental laws prohibited fuel leakage into the river. This made the car abnormally nose-heavy. Vic was strapped inside in a five-point harness, and had a "pony" air bottle w/regulator close at hand. For whatever reason, it was decided to replace the car's glass windshield with with one made from a sheet of plexiglass. When the effects crew screwed down the new windshield, the torque on their portable drills was apparently set too high, and the screws stripped out their holes. Vic drove off the end of the pier, but the car had the weight of the engine in front, and very little weight in the rear. Instead of "pancaking" into the river, the car immediately nosed over, and hit the surface grille-first. The onrushing water hit the windshield, ripped out the screws, and wrapped the plastic strip around Vic. He couldn't even get to his air bottle. Safety divers responded immediately, but before they could unwrap him from the failed windshield, he was dead. The actual sequence (not the aftermath, of course) was used in the film.
