Movie Info

Stormy Monday is a four-person character study in which style is all that matters. This tautly constructed, deftly executed crime thriller is set in economically depressed Newcastle England. Sting plays Finney, a relatively honest Newcastle jazz-club owner who crosses the path of crass American gangster Cosmo (Tommy Lee Jones). Flaunting his wealth at every opportunity, Cosmo wants to involve Finney in a land development deal -- if only he'll give up his club. Both men are enamored of Kate

Shadows on the Wall

A strong exercise in mood early in Mike Figgis's career.

A GOOD MOVIE ABOUT THE REBUILDING OF A BRITISH CITY THAT HAS BEEN DEVASTED BY THE LOSS OF IT'S MAIN INDUSTRY AND THE PREDATORS THAT TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

painful acting, bad jazz soundtrack and lacking in one ounce of realism. Its actually an insult to Newcastle to be filmed there. If you can get past the first 10 minutes it doesn't get any better...
