Black and White

This is one of the movies that you stay to watch the sexy actress lead, in this case Gina Gershon, but at the end you say "What? Is that it?". There was plenty of promise with the rookie cop- experienced cop pairing and all the twists that went along. But it all falters towards the end. This is not necessarily a bad film, but it was boring, especially the second half. Gershon is stunning to watch, but that's about all the excitement you'd get in the 90 minutes. Five of 10 is the rating I'd give for this movie that should have achieved so much more.

This thriller movie is amazing, its one of the best movies cos it stars Gina Gershon in it. this film is quite violent, Gina Gershon's acting is excellent and shame she hasn't done anymore thrillers since 2017.

I love the storyline including the violence and suspense.

If I had to give an award for some of the worst acting, it would go to this movie. I was ashamed to see Gina Gershon doing so poorly in the role of a (crooked) uniformed police officer. Not only was the plot predictable, but the acting stunk. It surprised me because Gina did a great job as Castor Troy's girlfriend in FACE/OFF. So, if you want to see a boring, predictable police "whodunnit" flick, then see it. My advice = forget it. James Handy played the Captain, or Lieutenant, or Sergeant, I forgot, but he's the jerk who plays Internal Affairs, or "IAB" as they call it on NYPD BLUE. He's another character who's acting is predictable, and his character is never really liked. But I guess that's what he's good at. Only actor who was worth his salt was Ron Silver. He does a convincing role as an investigator, but towards the end kind of just fades away! SKIP THIS ONE

If you are a Gina Gershon's fan this is the movie for you. The film tries to hard, you are never disappointed when Ms Gershon on screen.

No one plays crazy/troubled like Ms Gershon, with the exception of Ms Leigh. I forget the author, he once stated you can pick the best actor or supporting actor performance for the Oscars, you are always wondering what they are doing off screen. This movie by any standard is not Oscar worthy, but you do wonder what Ms Version is doing off screen.

The supporting cast is adequate, it is Ms Gershon performance which stands above. Rory Cochrane is pedestrian and his character as the naive innocent rookie is standard, actually caring for him: you don't. Ron Silver: you seen one performance you seen them all. Alison Eastwood: I keep waiting for the one performance to separate her from other actresses, this is not the role or performance.

The plot: A naive man becomes involved with a trouble exciting woman.

Worth a late night.
