Color of Night

Bruce Willis is brilliant as a psychologist, and Scott Bakula does a great job too in his role. Actually, the main reason I rented this movie was to see these two and what they did with their characters. The other actors, mainly Lance Henriksen, do some decent work and keep the story interesting, and even intriguing to a point.

Okay, so this movie has some skin in it - and I did get the directors cut - it's the only way to go...

Jane March is alright to look at, but as someone already pointed out, her teeth stand out a bit. She doesn't get that much screen time however, and the story basically revolves around Willis and his trying to find Bakula's killer.

The ending of the film (the last ten minutes or so) let the film down It almost borders on ridiculous; not due to the realization that is reached, but the action that takes place.

Despite this, it's definitely worth seeing for the great acting by Willis and the truly 'whodunnit' type feel.

[7/10]

An Agatha Christie-like whodunit remixed with Basic Instinct and a touch of Hitchcock, set in a Psychiatrist's practice in that most psychiatric city, LA with strong early 90s vibes. Jane March is very hot and shows it, and the sex scenes are gorgeous. The characters are otherwise a somewhat underdeveloped catalog of mental disorders, and although I am generally a fan of his, Bruce Willis is not a compelling shrink. The script is extremely implausible, and would have benefited from even a cursory industry consultation. That said, it was quite entertaining and loved the 90s atmosphere. Probably couldn't be made today (2023) so enjoy it while you can.

Why everyone is SO mad about this movie? It's not THAT BAD. Come on! This is a well-directed and acted feature. Bruce Willis is wonderful as Doctor Capa, and I think it is one of his best performances. He just proved here that he can act normal characters, and not only Die-Hard macho idiots. Jane March is very hot as Rose and the mystery of her apperances and disappearances sticks the spectator to the screen. Love and murder scenes do a very good job too, Dominic Frontiere's music is charming and thrilling and Dietrich Lohmann's cinematography is magnificent. Frankly saying, I liked it even more than The Silence Of The Lambs. I don't know why...

Knowing nothing about this movie before I saw it, I have to admit that it surprised me with its plot-twists...but looking back, I should have known better! That's the great thing about trashy movies: you can have a high time while it's playing, knowing you'll hate yourself the next day (and that you'll never have to watch the thing again). Bruce Willis is a psychiatrist troubled by a patient's suicide; he goes to stay with a friend and...to give any more away would be criminal! Suffice it to say, Bruce is nude in this one, and it's a long-held sequence that gives star-peepers what they've paid for. I didn't think the sex scenes were terrifically charged, but you gotta hand it to Willis: he takes a chance here and shows his courage. Yet there are times when he has question marks all over his face, as if to ask, "what's a nice box-office star like me doing in a piece like this?" ** from ****

Color blind people are people who, by the will of fate, are forced to look at the world differently. In most cases, this disease affects representatives of a strong half of humanity , namely 2-8% of men. Discomfort in distinguishing three colors: red, green, blue, or their combination, of course, causes considerable inconvenience in the daily life of a person, and especially men. The inability to see the color of the eyes of his beloved woman, the shade of her lipstick, etc., all this is certainly difficult and painful especially from the mental health of a person.

In the movie "The Color of the Night" in a similar situation is the character of Bruce Willis (Dr. Bill Capa). Once in this miserable 2-8%, he suffers from partial color blindness. But his psychoanalyst profession helps him cope with this ailment. Shocked by the death of his patient, he turns to his friend, and he, in turn, invites him to a group therapy session of his patients, who suffer from mental disorders and minor mental disabilities. Five completely different people of different sex, age and wealth. Gathering together, their lifelines connect willy-nilly at one point, and after the tragic events that take place further, the viewer will get to know these heroes more closely and, perhaps, feel a sincere sympathy or opposite feelings for some of them. This is up to you.

"The Color of the Night" is not another film about psychoanalysts, far from it. This is a real detective with its traditional ending in the final. The main character falls to a difficult task: to deal with the "unraveling" of a cruel crime, while in the "meager" way of life comes the one that doesn't care how many colors you distinguish.

The color of night. He can not be confused with anything. The "thick" darkness that follows the day fascinates and scares at the same time. And the color of blood. What is he like? For those who look at the world like everyone else, there will be no difficulty in answering. But for someone who suffers from color blindness , and the blood will be a different shade . What will be its color, learn, seeing the film Richard Rush.
