Passion Play (2011)

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a slow moving neo-noir modern western. Mickey Rourke plays Nate Poole, a jazz player has-been who has been caught with a mobster's wife. He is taken out into the desert to be shot when suddenly a group of Native Americans, dressed in white, shoot his killer. Nate walks until he reaches a sideshow carnival, complete with a woman with huge angel wings (Meagan Fox) named Lily Luster (short for Lilith, a fallen angel?). As the carnies are ready to kill Poole, Lily rescues him.Rhys Ifans plays Sam Adamo (another Biblical reference as Lilith in mythology was Adam's first wife). He is the head carny and Lily's caretaker. Nate plans to exploit Meagan by going back to the mobster Happy Shannon (Bill Murray) who is anything but happy, as he is a "recent widower." Nate is aided by Harriet (Kelly Lynch) who runs the "Dream Lounge" in case you thought we were running out of symbols/metaphors. Oh yes, Happy's real name is "Michael" like the angel.Poole seems to ruin his chance for redemption when he decides to exploit "angel." The movie contains tons of slow, seemingly useless, endless dialouge. The Sartre ending was expected as soon as the first shot was fired. This is more of an "indie" style movie or perhaps an "art" film. I think everybody will find something boring in this film in spite of the haphazard use of metaphors.F-bombs, one dimly lit sex scene, nudity (not Meagan).

Looking at the stars in this film I wasn't too sure what to expect. The genres are Drama, Fantasy, Romance. Say what? A romance movie with Bill Murray? Yup, sure is, and not a bad film at all. When the trumpet player (Rourke) faces certain death his fortune changes for the better. Wandering through the desert he happens upon Lilly (Fox), and the story interestingly enough doesn't get boring at all. In fact it gets better. Still, there is something going on that just seems a little out of reach. An under pinning that keeps you thinking that something else is really going on. True enough, something is. This film is a great tale of sustentation. Especially the ending of the film. At first I concluded "Cheesball" ending, and was happily surprised to be wrong. All the actors were spot on in this wonderful film. Both Megan Fox and Bill Murray smashed any type casting I may have had, and both were superb. Megan Fox did a great job of exuding innocence. Mickey Rourke did a great job also in his characters quest for redemption. Bill Murray was spot on as a man you may not want to cross. Ever.All in all, I am very impressed with this little gem. Don't take my word for it however, see for yourself.

Mickey Rourke in great terrible ass model. Normal Invoice Murray attending to certainly be a pinstriped gangster. Megan Fox fifty %-bare. Enthusiasm Achieve has the numerous vital avid gamers and demonstrates them within a Resourceful way, stylized in your gills and actually Primary. Though this movie is obtaining weak tips, the movie succeeds in creating a prosperous adore Tale all while the A-document Stable pulls off special this means performances. There are several eye rolling periods, but All spherical, I appreciated this Movie. It truly is a fairly intriguing movie. And however I encounter I can not give it alarger ranking then I'm. Initially off it hurts me to say how outstanding of a workMegan Fox did appropriate listed here. Maybe just It really is attainable she's lots additional then a "very encounter".Mickey Rourke was Remarkable. He proves He's Nearly probably the most dependableactors available. He pours himself into his roles. And all the topscenes belonged to Monthly bill Murray's standard functionality. So unquestionably it Completely was the Forgedthat purchased my concentrate to learn this to start with. This is a fragileFilm with refined touches of existence. I do not understand why the various despisefor this movie. Considerably from excellent. But I'd observe this about a lot of filmsI have found prior to. People say This may be the worst Film Anytime. Drastically from it.

While Megan Fox places her best foot (or wing) forward and Bill Murray is good, Passion play in is so puzzling that the end result is simply too summary for any person to attach with and The one thing that remotely is smart about its concept of redemption is The point that Glazer will must ask for it following owning directed this. This is the really interesting movie. And yet I truly feel I may give it a better ranking then I'm. Initial off it hurts me to say how excellent of a occupation Megan Fox did here. Probably just perhaps she is more then a "quite confront". Mickey Rourke was fantastic. He proves he is Among the most honest actors in existence. He pours himself into his roles. And all the most beneficial scenes belonged to Bill Murray's general performance. So truly it absolutely was the cast that obtained my attention to determine this to begin with. It truly is a delicate movie with subtle touches of lifestyle. I do not understand why all of the dislike for this Motion picture. Significantly from ideal. But I might watch this more than several movies I've noticed
