Really Surprised!
One of my all time favorites.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
View MoreOn some roads it is better not to fold ...And some movies do not look better ...Hmm ladies and gentlemen, it happens sometimes! This film is accidentally caught my eye, but after reading an annotation to it, it interested me. I expected to see a strong thriller like "The Turn" by Oliver Stone, for all the description for this disposal - a married accountant and his young lover, former lover caught them at the most inopportune moment, and therefore became a "corpse", which is unfortunate lovers to hide , for which they are sent into the wilderness to the notorious Ziziks Road.What in the end. From the film I began to turn up already for 10 minutes, helped by a completely useless and uninteresting диалог, however, it was longer, but it does not matter. Very pretty girl with a lollipop in his mouth has a conversation with her father Godea uncle that would be quickly buried the corpse of her former the groom and quickly get back on that uncle bravely replied that everything would settle. Lord, who chose for the main male role in this masterpiece of "intergalactic" popular singer textural roles of men over 45, Leo Grillo? Believe in the existence of certain feelings between the young beauty, and our superhero in предварительно-retirement age is absolutely impossible, remember what kind of "fountain" was the feeling between King Kong and actress from the same movie, there is no hint of passion, so to empathize with characters already as it is not want.Somewhere in the 40 minutes I turned off the film to look at KinoPoiske what kind of people have written it. And what is revealed to me: the film's director - a mediocre writer of films class B or even lower, he is a screenwriter and producer with a couple (who would have thought) the great Leo Grillo, so the choice for the main male role in this project was a foregone conclusion. As for the girls, it was Katherine Heigl, recently flashed in a very cute comedy "Knocked Up," as she agreed to star in this opus - is unclear, do all the paper was much better than that was the result, or the question was about money, after having in his filmography of the films can be great to spoil his reputation.But someone's reputation on roles in movies is not exactly worried about is the third member of this motion picture - Tom Sizemore. The actor has long removed for a pinch of cocaine, it goes to 157 films a year and not a good one ... But the money does not smell because, as lawyers and realibitatsionnye clinics have to pay, and that's removed once the invoice actor Tom in any trash.I decided to watch the movie, what this is all over, and I got a surprise ...In the middle of the film is like an unexpected turn (it may be someone waiting in between going to bed) and the film is developed in a different vein ... even more delusional, more incoherent and meaningless. Katherine Heigl is trying to show fear and it is tolerable but it turns out (it is still a pretty actress who has proved that in "Knocked Up"), but because she is opposed to strict adherent of the school of Stanislavsky, acting genius, Leo Grillo, and there is nowhere to go, to yield titanium.In the film, awful everything from script to performance, диалог and disclosure of the plot can be cast into a shock film fans, and ward off from watching any movie was about two weeks. I watched the film only by Katherine Heigl, she is the only thing worth watching this film, but in general it is better not to look too much he is hopeless in my opinion.The budget of the movie $ 2 million and $ 30 fee, it's the most amazing collections I have ever seen, he was still in theaters? I would not be surprised if the $ 30 paid by Leo Grillo himself that would be with his family to see what their dad a cool dude, with himself in the movie Tom Sizemore is removed ...Rate this movie on a scale of 10?I think -10 of 10 it just right
View MoreI saw this primarily because boxofficemojo. com gave this movie the worst productioncost-to-visitor ratio, EVER! That's primarily because they didn't distribute it.And showed it only in one theatre world wide But still. Officially, 30 people saw the theatrical release.But since then, it has been downloaded many more times.So .... I will give this an A for Effort.It was kinda hard to sit through.The story was hard to follow.But Heigl was Okay.I liked Madsen as well.
View MoreAbsolutely one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time! It starts off badly and just deteriorates. Katherine Heigl is woefully miscast in a Lolita role and Leo Grillo manfully struggles with what is essentially a cardboard cutout character. The only cast-member with any enthusiasm is Tom Sizemore, who hams it up as a villain and goes completely overboard with his role. The script is dire, the acting horrible and it has plot holes big enough to drive a double-decker bus through! It is also the most sexist movie I have ever seen! Katherine Heigl's character is completely unsympathetic. She's seen as an evil, wanton seductress who lures the poor, innocent married man to cheat on his wife. It is implied throughout the movie that she's underage, and the message that accompanies that plot-strand just beggars belief! At the end, she isn't even able to redeem herself by shooting the man who's obviously (ha!) become demented with rage and guilt, but the script allows him to kill himself, thereby redeeming himself in the eyes of males everywhere. Horrible. Don't waste your time.
View MoreThe family man accountant Grant (Leo Grillo) travels to Los Angeles and meets the lascivious "Lolita" Marissa (Katherine Heigl) in a casino. While in the motel with Marissa, her violent ex-boyfriend Joey (Tom Sizemore) surprises them on the bed, hits Grant on the head, but he kills Joey. Grant brings Joey's body to bury in the desert Zyzzyx Road, but after digging a grave, he finds that the body is missing in the trunk of his car. Grant chases Joey with a shovel in the desert, and when he finds the man hidden in a abandoned mine, Joey discloses a secret about Marissa.I bought "Zyzzyx Rd" on DVD without any expectations and I really liked this low-budget movie. The story begins theatrical, claustrophobic and intriguing; there are two surprising twists and a tragic conclusion after disclosing the guilty complex of Grant. I like this type of films where screenplay, direction and performances prevail over a high budget and special effects. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Estrada da Morte" ("Road of the Death")
