The Shipment (2001)
7/10
My Own Questionnaire About This Movie !
24 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
  • The Best Bit: When the dull mobster (Nicholas Turturro) calls out to the runaway (Matthew Modine): "Shane.. Come Back Shane!" and when the older wise guy asks him: "What Are You Doing?!" he replays simply: "Enjoying My Time!" Actually like me at the moment!


  • The Most Creepy Part: After the (Showgirls)' fiasco, (Elizabeth Berkley) didn't find a place under the sun. She proved here that could be a good lead of a movie, but maybe Hollywood has no mercy at all!


  • The Most Far-fetched Thing: The dumb assistant after a day and a night in the back of the car is still alive and healthy at the end?! Moreover the Mexican smuggler took 3 bullets (at the same car!) and he's not dead either??!!


  • The Most Ugly Thing: All of those murdered people, as well as the numerous (F) words to a boring extent!


  • The Most Beautiful Thing: The crazy clever script with all the funny characters and the tumultuous situations, the acting looked sweet also, especially from (Paul Rodriguez) who stole the show, as he had the best dialogue also!


  • The Most Disappointing Thing: Although the direction didn't mess the story's wittiness at all, but in the same time it didn't give it a unique touch, a matchless signature, some kind of insane hilarity like the one in the story itself. However, maybe the low budget wronged it well. And of course the easy tasteless music which could be caused because of that cheap production itself!


  • The Most Confusing Part: (Matthew Modine) is a talented guy, but what did he do exactly to be out of Hollywood's "A" list of stars?! What could possibly be the thing that he made to end up in light independent jest like (The Shipment)?!!


  • The Most Absent Scene: Where did (Jose) the Mexican smuggler go at last?! I thought that we would see him again at the end, smuggling once more as the surviving little criminal who, in a brief gimmick like this, could materialize the continuous disorder of such a world.


  • The Most Question I had After The End: When will we see (The Shipment - 2)? Because I'm so eager to see that fine small comic hurly-burly again!
