Review of Pedestrian

Pedestrian (2000)
6/10
Not that 'pedestrian'
9 April 2018
Somewhat in the vein of 'After Hours' and 'Into the Night' an ineffectual hapless hero finds more than he bargained for with a femme fatale.

A nicely paced comedy that is really only marred by terrible sound editing. Every spoken line of dialogue sounds as it it had been recorded in a cupboard. Consequently, good acting can appear wooden. The characters are nicely characatured, including some fine performances such as by the main female protagonist, Melissa Lewis (whatever happened to her?) and the villain, Kriko Satamian.

Our hero is perhaps a bit too nerdy for the role, but overall the story flows well and is quite amusing. It's shot in a rather 60s style, though it is set in the early to mid-90s.

Worth a watch on a rainy day or when you need light-hearted gentle entertainment.
