Under a Black Cloud

Elmore Leonard could have written this great, quirky, neo-noir film! The protagonist is a rough guy who doesn't seem to like anybody or anything. Because of a congenital ailment, he didn't expect to live past the age of 15, so, growing up, he did and said whatever he liked. He survived and carried this attitude into adulthood which translated into social ineptness if not downright antisocial behavior. Unlike so many movies, the acting is great and the characters are authentic. Wonderful film, thanks!

This is one of the worst, rather nonsensical mystery "corn" movies of all time. The plot is thin and both the female/male actors need to return to REAL acting school. The hokey dialogue from all was like "nails on a blackboard" to listen to and like a mystery "soap opera". Seriously flawed throughout and whoever made this movie I would submit? Seriously needs to go back to casting/directorship "school" 101!!! Totally unbearable to watch in every respect possible. I can't imagine as an artist, seeing the premiere didn't and couldn't recognize the numerous flaws in just about every respect. UGH.
