Mercy Streets (2000)
A great action/caper film!
I got a sneak preview of this film and was blown away!
Whenever they do a film about brothers or twins they're treading on familiar ground if not thin ice, but director Jon Gun pulls it off in a delightfully surprising fashion. The script mixes elements of a buddy picture, mentor/student film and caper flick with smart music choices from artists like Moby and Sixpence None The Richer.
Eric Roberts is so great as the bad guy, you love him. Stacy Keach has a nice cameo and newcomer David White plays the dual leads with an easy panache. He's gonna be a star!
Definitely check it out if you liked Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints and The Sting.
Loser (2000)
Loser is a LOSER!
Worst movie I've seen in a long time. My friend and I spent the evening afterwards, trying to recall a worse film. It was nice to see Mena Suvari as a brunette, but nothing at all about the film is noteworthy. Hard to believe the same director/writer was involved in "Clueless." This film even goes so far as to make jokes about date rape drugs. Weed was funny in the 70's because it is relatively harmless. Date rape isn't funny and the jokes fall flat. The entire theater left with a bad taste in their mouths.
