Fizzles

The Big Bang (2011)

Directed by Tony Krantz this film stars Antonio Banderas, Sienna Guillory, Autumn Reeser and Robert Maillet. Three policemen interview a private eye about his most recent case, the search for a stripper pen pal of a recently released murderer.

This script would work a lot better if it included just an ounce of subtlety but it is intent in smashing you over the head with the parallels between the scientific theories discussed and the plot. What plot there is is a standard neo noir by way of cheap Tarantino imitation and does not hold up especially well. There are one or two moments of interesting direction involving light and colour but they are not nearly enough to save this film from being a snooze-fest.


2/5
