Heartless

Why is it so difficult to find a movie with a good ending? This was just an ok movie. Bad acting by Melanie Griffith, and just ok acting by everyone else, with a couple of miscasts. It was difficult to believe some of the characters and the acting. The ending was terrible. I could have written a better ending! The ending court room scene did not feel realistic. A real prosecutor would have objected numerous times. It is obvious that the writer did not know much about court rooms and the questioning process. The ending could have been better. The plot was just ok and predictable. In some places, the story seemed unrealistic. It was difficult to believe that certain things would happen the way they did. I wish I had that time back. So why is it that movies lately do not have good endings? I watch a lot of movies per week, and a good ending is sometimes rare. Perhaps if this movie had a different writer.

This is the closest you can ever have to a sleeping pill. Actually, the tedium here comes with so many ways, maybe all the known ways, being the most hypnotist thriller I've seen, I know that I fell asleep more than once during the watching!

A lot of people don't perceive that weariness could come from many uncommon sources, one of them is the voice's rhythm, and I do not need to remind anyone how Miss. Griffith got one of the most boring voices EVER. However, the way of delivering her lines reaches to the next level of provocation this time. Listen to her, OH MY GOD! Scene like the one in which she screams to one of the characters: "You're My Whore!" seemed really laughable with her child-like tone.

And aside from the fact that in the history of "bad performance" she had a genuine signature, her face here looked horrible with a capital H. She became a total freak out of too many plastic surgeries. Her face appeared as unpolished plastic mask, reflecting the lights like a badly-made Barbie doll. And when it comes to her lips.. well, let's not bring up the matter of the lips! So how about acting as a femme fatal in the same freaking time?? (lethal seduction indeed!). She made it clear through this work: (Death Becomes Her) wasn't fiction story; it's a fact that a lot of Hollywood stars live, wanna witness it yourself? So watch this TV movie.

I hated everything in (Heartless). While the plot is not bad, the characters are poor, the narration is so dull, and the directing is nonexistent. Somebody should have told the invisible director earlier that there are elements to make the thrill, the suspense, the movies. But obviously nobody did. It's ideally tasteless, even the painting of the lead on the wall was awful!

It's rare when I say about one movie "what a waste of time and money". This is unmistakably one of them. However, it's great cure if insomnia is the problem!

Ahh.. where is Dina Meyer when you need one?!
