The Pinch

The pinch will pinch you right in your seats good movie

I wasn't expecting this Indy movie to entertain as much as it did. A slow start but when the kidnap happens the movie really begins. Edited well which keeps the action moving.

Some of the worst acting and script I have seen. To describe the acting as wooden is an insult to decent timber. There are far too many films of this low quality and more over rating reviews. I suggest review scoring is amended to allow negative scoring. I would then rate this -10. Watching paint dry would be better use of your time.

"The Pinch" is a relatively straightforward crime thriller, last-man-out story. Filmed in true indie style the premise transitions from a Tarantino-esque mob mentality into a sort of pulp styled "Lucky Number Slevin". The characters are lacking full development to really set life to Meyers vision, but there is enough there to connect with them on a basic level. I found the protagonist loveable but tragic but I never fully understood why he was this way.

The cast all give pretty decent performances, a few felt slightly contrived but overall the acting really brought the story to life. I didn't, however, feelike that the tongue-in-cheek satire written in as comic relief, was necessary. It stepped a bit to far in spoof territory, pulling from the darker overture of the actual plot. It didn't quite hit the pulp film mark. But those moments aside the movie is very watchable, and easily likeable. If crime noir is a favorite genre, give "The Pinch" a go.

I like Pinch. Its movie is very interesting for me.
