She can look all slinky and whatnot, but I don't think she's a particularly gifted actress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-39419522727841018222010-04-25T12:31:38.641-04:002010-04-25T12:31:38.641-04:00I liked the plot of this film a lot.

The way the Phoenix character changes by the end in particular made the story work for me.<br /><br />I hope you check out The Yards as well. Gray is a fantastic and egregiously overlooked director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-85653518298821178492010-04-23T12:14:00.655-04:002010-04-23T12:14:00.655-04:00I didn't have any problems with the pacing.

I felt the pacing (which felt like an extension of the tone Gray set for the film) worked reasonably well.<br /><br />About Pheonix's performance, I understand that it irked you. You're not alone in that camp, but I thought it to be oddly compelling.<br /><br />I thought 'Running Scared' was pretty lousy, sorry.edgarchaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874108948902089501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-6954602080908930752010-04-23T07:42:02.462-04:002010-04-23T07:42:02.462-04:00I was not a fan of this film at all.

I think both The Yards and Two Lovers are better Gray/Phoenix films.<br /><br />p.s. Running Scared is a guilty pleasure of mine.Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.com
