Go back to Tarantino school

Catch .44 (2011)

Written and directed by Aaron Harvey this film stars Malin Akerman, Nikki Reed, Deborah Ann Woll, Forest Whitaker and Bruce Willis. Three women working for a drug boss go off to a remote tuck stop to intercept a rival gang's drug deal.

This film has all the hallmarks of wanting to be Tarantino, specifically Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, and falling far short. At times it seems a lot like the script is imitating without understanding and some of the characters actions just make no sense. Forest Whitaker players a character that is supposed to be strange in a creepy sense but is just bizarre in a “what the heck is he doing?” sense.


2/5
