That's right. New York. It's 1958. Anyway, for a few more minutes it is. Come midnight, it's gonna be 1959. A whole other feeling. The New Year. The future. Yeah, old Daddy Earth's fixin' to start one more trip round the sun. Everybody hopin' this ride-around be a little more giddy, a little more gay. Yep, all over town, champagne corks is a-poppin'. Over in the Waldorf, the big shots is dancin' to the strains of Guy Lombardo. Down in Times Square, the little folks is a-watchin' and waitin' for that big ball to drop. They're all trying to catch hold of one moment in time, to be able to say, "Right now, this is it, I got it." Of course by then, it'll be past. But they're all happy. Everybody havin' a good time. Well, almost everybody. There's a few lost souls floatin' around out there. Now, if y'all ain't from the city, we got somethin' here called the rat race. Got a way of chewin' folks up so that they don't want no celebratin'. Don't want no cheerin' up, don't care nothin' about no New Years. Out of hope, out of rope, out of time. This here's Norville Barnes. That office he's steppin' out of is the office of the president of Hudsucker Industries. It's his office. How'd he get so high? And why's he feelin' so low? Is he really gonna do it? Is Norville really gonna jelly-up the sidewalk? Well, the future, that's somethin' you can't never tell about.
But the past... That's another story.

Incredibly beautiful, remarkably watchable and eminently inspiring
- To me, this movie is a passionate plea to make art for art’s sake. And a clever muse. I will never tire of it.nb

This was really interesting/nicely unpredictable/really well shot.
Great first half. Kind of felt a bit short, would've been nice to see a third act. Better than too long tho.

An entertaining, self-aware love letter to all those violent revenge stories and with a seedy Indian setting. Occasionally a little muddled and clasutrophobic, but rattles along with great fight scenes. And Boney M.

Watched this last night.
I forgot how good Keaton was at playing one of those ambiguously scatty characters. The whole films feels disjointed and somewhat confusing, a little like having dementia I guess, but the humour and intrigue carry it. Bit slow at times, but I really enjoyed it. 8/10- Looks good. Watched Pacific Heights recently and it's held up well.MrT
- It is shit. Had potential, but it's shit.crazyprick
- totally valid opinions as always crazyprickIanbolton
- Well, I'm a big, big Keaton fan. But this ain't it, chief.crazyprick
- let me guess - "it wasn't as good as you thought it was gonna be?"Ianbolton
- Wrong, dummy. It has a contrived plot, sluggish pacing, half-baked performances. Deal with it.crazyprick

- I read that they built all the sets and painted them entirely in grayscale. So the actors would feel like they were in the black and white era.nb
- far out ..neverscared
- I wonder if looking at another actor in that set would feel like that corny selective color photoshop effectnb
