Vidocq (2001)

There is something 'wrong' with this movie

[7/10 · 28 April 2002]

As you are watching you can see there is something really odd

about this movie, the way it's filmed (not only the way the sky

looks etc, that's obviously not realistic). Still, it's a very intense movie to watch. I thought the camera work was refreshing, but I didn't like the story much.

Four Dogs Playing Poker (2000)

Nice story, but a lot of "mistakes"

[3/10 · 29 April 2001]

The psychological story behind it all was quite nice, but I really hated all those mistakes in the movie, like - If they all had a life insurance that was back dated, wouldn't the insurance company be worried that they missed so many payments? - And since they are not related how could they claim the life insurance of the others? Wouldn't the money usually go their parents or something? - How common is it to pick your packages up from the boat itself without going through customs and all? - Why was Julian taping it all? The answering machine is taped now too, right? So the police could figure out who did it all .. So the idea behind the movie was good, but the movie itself sucked.
