It’s a film he didn’t even want to direct, but even with that in mind he does a pretty damn good job. The movie has a very naturalistic feel to it, with the camerawork, performances and dialogue feeling unrehearsed and spontaneous. John Adames has gotten a lot of flack for his performance which is, to be fair, the weakest link in the film, but since he was only about 6 years old there was only so much you could have done. He’s got a squeaky, hitch pitched voice and talks like an adult that’s been shrunk down, spouting dialogue that no child would actually say. That being said he does have an entertaining chemistry with Gena Rowland, a woman with zero maternal instinct whose quest for escape soon becomes one of rescue. The plot is pretty thin, and the gangsters who are after our leads either have spies on every street corner or have control over satellites, because they always manage to pop up at the right place at the right time, i.e. whenever we need an action sequence. It might be a relatively minor film in Cassavetes’ body of work, but for 2 hours it takes you on quite the ride, and even if it doesn’t match up to his other pictures, I think you’ll be glad you’ve watched it. See more Harrison R @clinthoward Dec 8, 2024 Beautiful scenery and music. Good performance from Gena Rowlands. Cool plot. Bad direction to the actor John Adames, whose performance was very bad as a result. Also, a bunch of scenes seemed to be missing that would explain really arbitrary-seeming choices by Gloria. Not bad though. See more Read all reviews
