Re: The Poison Rose
I kind of liked the first hour, there's some nice mood setting and I just enjoy seeing Travolta on screen and it feels a bit better than some of his recent films. There's small roles of other well known actors as well, do the only one of them that seems to be really trying is Brendan Fraser. But then, the story doesn't really go anywhere, it just unfolds without suspense and it feels pointless. In some way it seems slow like a film made in the 60's, not just taking place there as the story does. It's setting doesn't feel authentic enough either, though the picture has a bit of a VHS grainy-ness to it, but any 60's culture, besides perhaps the cars isn't present. So despite a bit more of a higher profile production it's just not able to escape a low quality vibe. I didn't have a bad time with it, but calling it average would be a bit too much of a compliment too.
