Tails of the City

Rating: 4/10 (11 April 2005)

I love the film Noir of the move; the characters were interesting however the movie as a whole could not keep my interest. There were many good story lines (that I wanted more detail on) but they were not used to their full potential. The choppy story line felt like I was watching it on DVD on fast forward, leaving out the foundation and substance of the story lines. This movie would have been better if they would have focused on fewer characters leaving room for a possible trilogy if wanting to go that route.
The acting was bad due to poor direction, at times the actors/actress' seem to look confused as to where they should be focusing their skills toward. I would have to compare much (not all) of the acting in this movie to be that of a low budget no name B movie. Many minute details where over emphasized leaving some of the more important details to be lost in the shadows.
I was very disappointed with the movie, I can handle slow but the lack of dialog, direction and substance made this a movie that I would only recommend seeing on cable or at the dollar theater.
