Product: Final Analysis [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 3.0
A good film with significant flaws
Despite a number of problem areas, this R rated film is pretty good. The movie moves rather slowly during the first half. The plot line, the fooling and taking advantage of a doctor and lawyer, is not new, and this film is not strikingly different than many others. The ancients had a problem ending plays, so they resorted to deus ex machina, which means that a god descended in a machine, for the actor playing god could not fly, and the deity resolved the complex matter simply. Many modern movies build up complex plots, which would take hours to resolve, and solve them in a near deus ex machina manner. I don't want to reveal the film's ending, but viewers will see this happening here and, for that matter, in lots of films. However, the acting is good and it is entertaining to see the well-worn plot revised.
