Review of Boulevard

Boulevard (2014)
5/10
Calculated and predictable
9 July 2015
Director Dito Montiel ("A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" and lead singer for "Gutterboy") joins forces with Writer Douglas Soesbe to present what ended up being Robin Williams' final on screen performance. Based roughly on Soesbe's own coming out story, the overall film is unfortunately calculated and predictable. The major cast members (relative newcomer Robert Aguire "Struck By Lighting" and the usually wonderful Kathy Baker " Picket Fences') all wear their wounded hearts on their sleeves, leaving little for the audience to root for and/or feel concerned amount. Luckily, Bob Odenkirk "Breaking Bad" adds a little self-absorbed heart-felt comedic relief. The blame here lies in the hands of the Director, Writer and Cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung. Look for this film to be over hyped, due to Williams' recent death, then fade away.
