Critic Reviews for The Opportunists
All Critics (27) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (13)
Walken. Lauper. Silly heist and regional accents. See.
Here we have a bittersweet little character study masquerading as a caper flick.
What's there not to like about this robbery film!
The whole film is distributed with bursts of short dialogue that, coupled to the actors' gestures, reveal the people in minimum time.
slow slow pace
Directed on snooze control by Myles Connell.
Audience Reviews for The Opportunists
Christopher Walken plays the role of Vic, a reformed criminal whos luck seems to have run out of him. Before he spent time in the slammer, his specialty was cracking safes, now hes just trying to live an honest life, working as an automechanic. --- Vic is in a rut, he cant make ends meet, hes in debt and although tries to make things right, everything seems to be working against him.
Cyndi Lauper pops in every now and then throughout the movie as Vics girlfriend. She tries to offer Vic some help and advice but always gets turned down.

A low key flick through and through, watching this reminded me of "The Savages" mainly because of the pace and mood of some of the scenes. Theres an ordinary feel about the whole set, but I guess thats what makes this film beautiful.
Im very suprised that Cyndi Lauper can actually act, she looks so mersmerizing too.
