Flashback (1990)
Refreshing
After a month of monotonous plots, this movie is refreshingly different. The characters are not predictable, the plot takes some interesting twists, you know the characters are going to survive until one of them dies. The dialog is thought-provoking, especially for this old hawk who has had time to think about the 60's and the issues that were involved.
The Jack Bull (1999)
OK Western fulfills longtime desire
John Cusack, great in a series of breakfast club movies, has (to my knowledge) never done a western. _The Jack Bull_, which feels like a "based on a true story" was produced by Cusack for HBO and he does the genre justice. He obviously does his own riding, looks the part of a scruffy frontier cattle buyer, and carries the action along nicely. I was a little dubious about the willingness of his posse to follow him against the bad guy Ballard (played convincingly by former comic relief actor L. Q. Jones) but the general grittiness & Wyoming scenery kept me involved throughout.
Desperate Measures (1998)
Great actors, what do you expect?
Plot is somewhat predictable (at least the turn in the middle) but the details are great! A lot of hospital scrambles, and even a car chase. Garcia & Keaton deliver; what more could you ask for?
