Don't shoot

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2001)

When I first saw this film back in 1990 I was sick. How can one even remotely like such an obvious insult of our logic. But then I was a teenager. Now that some years have gone by, I can understand the need of a sentimental escape from real life. I still don't like it, but its international success proves that even today almost everyone needs a tale. There are millions of us who don't care about the one dimensional supporting cast, the implausibility of the plot or the wooden acting, when this film offers them a trip to the land of dreams. So, while this film is light years away from my taste, I will not be harsh because of the joy it has offered to so many people.
