Dangerous Curves

It's impossible to know what the director had in mind for this awful attempt at film making. "Dangerous Curves" tells of a lawyer (R. Carradine) who becomes involved in....um, a silly mess of a story which seems to be trying to be some kind of film noir detective story with maybe a comedy bent or something. Whatever it is, it doesn't work as drama noir, satire, comedy, farce, etc. It just plain sucks. Casting is awful, acting ill timed and poorly directed, action is mostly cheap foot chases for filler or poorly staged fire fights, etc. The list of complaints is too long for this forum. Suffice it to say, stay away from this sophomoric travesty of film making.

I cant remember where i was subjected to this film. but i do remember the twisted plot and crazy cast I also remember that I came away from that film,.... with a hot sweet sickish feeling, "you know, like when the plane lands, after a 7 hour flight, and then you sit, on the Tarmac in the hot sun breathing in the smell of old people" It was a very hard to follow Plot to say the least. It was done by Roger Corman. The same cat who did little shop of horrors.

I wish that I could have the choice of zero stars for rating this movie, but since 1 is the lowest choice offered, I had to give it a star. I thought that I had seen the worst movies in the world when I watched Pervirella, Turtle Diary, and Xanadu, but for sheer inanity, pointlessness, and waste of time, nothing beats Dangerous Curves. When I watched it, I could have sworn that it was made some time in the '80s, considering how dated the costumes, "acting", and story line were. The plot made no sense, the characters weren't realistic (although the director appeared to be making some attempt to make the film realistic - it wasn't a farce), the acting was lousy, and a lot of the sound effects didn't synch up with the action. Someone please tell me why this movie was made!

This film is billed as a thriller, and it does have its share of action. It has known actors playing the lead roles, but unfortunately the story is not as well written as it could be. The premise is good, but there is not enough character development, and so leaves the audience wanting more. The action sequences are good, and special effects aren't bad. It obviously was shot on a limited budget, but that really doesn't detract from the film. Bottom line is that it is a watchable film, even entertaining. It just never achieves what most would expect due to a inconsistently crafted story. Worth watching on a rainy day.
