The film lifts references and plot beats directly from a number of great crime and heist films but without the heart that makes those films tick. Its almost as if a film critic watched Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs and To Catch a Thief and decided to make those stories palatable to younger viewers. The result is a sweet but ultimately toothless adventure with the very predictable plot right down to the twists and turns in the latter half. Rating: 57/100 Genny: A Cat in Paris was good, I just wish there was more of it. It was over far too quickly in my opinion. I mean it gives you just enough time to get attached to the characters and then it's onto the next one in the list. I watched the version with Steve Blum so obviously can't go wrong with that VA. Still don't really get how the thief and the investigator end up together but I guess he seduced her with his voice. Inviso: While this wasnt the BEST movie and it had some definite flaws, the fact that one of the artsy films on the list managed to entertain me gives it a bit of a boost. Its a bit of a confusing story, with a bunch of intersecting plotlines, but it all comes together nicely. The main guy is like Sly Cooper, dealing with his Carmelita whos both on his tail, and on the tail of the man that killed her husband. Theres a mute little girl, a BADASS cat, and a whole lot of idiot goons to get wrecked. And its short enough that it doesnt overstay its welcome. The characters do their jobs and the film feels complete. I wish the little girl was either fully mute, or not mute at all. It just feels like a bad plot device to make her mute and then she gets better at JUST the wrong moment. Still, solid film. charon: A pretty simple adventure film, not quite what I was expecting. It's well done and competent I just don't really get moved or impressed by it that much. The strength of the film is the interaction between the main cast which is enjoyable, even if the overall plot is nothing too grand or exciting. It was also pretty short, clocking in at just over an hour. As far as the English dub goes we immediately recognized Steve Blum playing a Steve Blum character. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it was interesting to be able to catch his voice so easily. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
