Interested Party

The writing and editing were not good in this film. I typically don’t catch this as I watch movies to escape from the realities of life. A movie has to be of lesser quality for me to address this aspect: it was an ok way to spend about 1.5 hours but it was nothing special.

Minimal violence- if there was 2 minutes I would be surprised- within the first 10 minutes or so and then about 2/3rds of the way into the movie. This is not a movie for kids- they would be bored out of their minds. It is a story that leaves a lot of the storyline to be filled in by those watching the movie. It is a human interest movie about a guy with a pet pig that gets “pignapped” and his efforts to get his pig back. It is a slow, methodical movie that is filmed almost entirely in a almost always overcast sky which adds to the darkness tone of the movie. Nicholas Cage was outstanding and I rank this as one of his best performances. See this movie with the understanding it will be dark, slow, methodical, and don’t expect it to fill in all the blanks. Enjoy.
