Streamers (1983)
3/10
Total bore....
21 November 2014
The producer/writer/director who thought that a two-hour movie of relentless talk between gay soldiers (or crypto-gay)confined in the barracks is entertaining must have been out of his mind. I failed to understand the purpose of this film or the motivations of the principal characters, in order to sympathize with them. Somewhere between the lines there must be a message about tolerance and indiscrimination but it never comes through. Instead we are forced to watch 3-4 people beating around the bush in the same room, without any coherence or plot. The climax (when it finally comes) appears completely unnatural and unjustified, making me feel that the makers of this film were desperately trying to find a spectacular ending. Probably this script could have worked better as a theatrical play (although I still have doubts). Avoid to watch, absolutely worthless and outdated.
