if he does n't watch out , mel gibson is in danger of being known as someone other than mad max .
of course there are still a few big guns in this film , but there 's some accomplished acting too .
although gibson continues to shed his rough and gritty anti - hero skin as his career progresses , here he explores a new genre : the businessman as action hero .
in ron howard 's latest film , gibson plays tom mullen , a gazillionaire airline owner whose son is snatched from the junior science fair by kidnappers .
mullen at first agrees to pay the ransom , but when things fall apart he rethinks the situation .
a veteran of numerous hard - nosed business negotiations , the tycoon realizes that in order to get his son back alive , he has to play his hand differently .
the casting is what puts this film over the top .
the trio of gibson , the kidnappers ' mastermind ( gary sinise ) and fbi team leader ( delroy lindo ) play off of each other wonderfully .
sinise is perfect as the driven scheming sleezebag is right on the mark .
his speech to mullen over a walkie talkie about h .
g .
wells ' morlocks and eloi reveal his vision of society .
mullen and the other glitteratti frolic up on high while sinise and the other lowlifes
dwell below , feeding off the unsuspecting .
gibson 's character is an all - american hero with a few flaws .
his cowboy tactics tend to work , but they are also what got him into this situation to begin with .
in a round about way , if he were n't known as a man who is willing to buy his way out of trouble , his son would n't have been kidnapped .
as sinise says " you 're a payer .
you did it once
and now you 're going to do it again .
" one of the nicest elements of this film is that most of the characters actually have personalities .
lindo calls home to talk to his kids , obviously shaken at working this case .
even the kidnappers are real people , arguing about the ultimate fate of sean mullen and feeding him candy bars .
gibson 's break - down on the balcony of their penthouse apartment is especially effective .
it 's one of the best filmed representations of a man 's world falling apart that i 've seen
.
it 's not all perfect .
the shoot 'em upending , while emotionally satisfying seems tacked on to be just that rather than to provide a powerful resolution .
as well crafted as the scene is , we 've seen it before .
mullen 's wife ( rene russo ) has several good moments , but occasionally just seems to be there .
while adequate , brawley nolte ( sean ) does n't provide much to the film other than occupying space to build the story around .
but you 'll ignore these problems as each minute of the movie builds on the previous one .
forget about the large coke , you wo n't want to leave for that five minute break an hour later .

ever feel you 're spending your whole life on the net ( ouch ! ) , eating , breathing and excreting web sites ? that your most meaningful relationships are being formed on the net ? that you get your best sex on the net ?
if first - time director hal salwen could shoot an entire movie of characters typing at their computers , he would .
as it is , he settles for characters talking on the phone .
denise calls up is a movie for and about the electronic generation , where characters are too caught up with their work and insecurities prefer to live out their relationships and fantasies on the phone .
it 's a satire - and
a sometimes funny one - about how we let handphones , call - waiting and answering machines run our lives .
the problem : denise calls up is a movie about an idea .
a darn good one , but still an 80 minute - long idea .
and despite salwen 's attempt at plots and sub - plots , despite some genuinely funny moments , you can predict the movie 's outcome within the first fifteen minutes .
you get the drift after a series of shots of characters explaining over the phone why they all could n't make it for a party - nobody is going to be meeting anybody in this film , they would rather be talking on the phone .
here 's salwen 's plot
: while all the characters are in a dysfunctional , telefixated limbo , loud quirky stranger denise calls up martin to announce that she is pregnant with his child , courtesy of the sperm he donated to the local bank . as martin progresses from slamming the phone on her to long phone conversations over the baby 's name , his friends - and his friends ' friends - get involved , courtesy of call - waiting and double - lines .
in the tigher and more tantalizing sub - plot , barbara and jerry are set up on a blind date that neither turns up for .
both profess to have too complicated schedules to ever meet , but they get it going over the phone .
with repeated phone sex comes a glitch ; what if the other person is simply faking it ?
denise calls up scores with some inspired moments .
mousy barbara metamorphoses into a vamp over her cordless , everyone shares the excitement of denise 's delivery through a conference call to her handphone , and barbara 's best friend gale is killed in a car accident while taling animatedly into another friend 's answering machine .
( as gale 's overly - chatty aunt recounts , her cordless was knicked into her ear and lodged in her brain . )
but these moments are not enough to sustain the movie .
the pace sags , the dialogue drags and not much acting appears to be required of the telephone - touters .
and the ending is literally a non - event as expected , everyone is too chicken to turn up for the party frank throws in gale 's memory despite promising over the phone that they will .
we get the point .
the movie appears to be intent on flogging its terribly-'90s statement until they have it coming out of your ears .
pun intended .
there 's even a on the movie 's web site where you can win cellular phones ( as if we have n't had enough of these things already ) .
watch the movie only if you find it philosophy
compelling enough for a earful .
the flying inkpot 's rating system :
* wait for the video .
*
* a little creaky , but still better than staying at home with gotcha !
*
* * pretty good , bring a friend .

*
* * amazing , potent stuff .

* * perfection . see it twice .

before you read my review , you got ta know that i love woody allen .
this is a very important note because allen 's films are generally an acquired taste and definitely not for everyone .
i know folks who believe him to be a complete genius , while others see him as a dirty ol' schnook who keeps making the same movie over and over again .
i love most of his films , but will admit to having been quite disappointed by his recent crop during the 90s .
in fact , why he felt the need to make 10 movies in those 10 years is beyond me ! if you look at the quality of those films , you 'll hear what i 'm saying .
the only two films of his that i really liked during that time were bullets over broadway and husbands and wives .
in fact , i secretly hoped that he would take some " time off " at the turn of the millennium , just to re - energize or something , but it does n't appear as though he has any intention of doing that .
so here i am again , reviewing yet another woody allen movie and hoping that it brings back the woody from the days of old .
plot :
the year is 1940 and woody allen
is a top - notch insurance investigator .
his methods are very old - fashioned and apparently out of date .
a new employee ( hunt ) has just been hired to streamline the operations for greater efficiency .
the two do not like each other .
one night , they are both put under a hypnotic trance by a magician , and unbeknownst to them , placed under his control .
soon thereafter , jewels are stolen , words of love are exchanged and everyone is looking for an answer .
critique : a wonderful recreation of the 1940s style movies , with the fast - talking witty banter between
co - workers , a catchy jazz score moving things along , film noirish elements such as the veronica lake - type sexpot , one - liners galore and a fluffy , if inconsequential plotline .
on the downside , the film actually starts off pretty slowly , with the first hour tossing only a few guffaws out there , but never really generating any kind of steady flow or energy .
the sets , on the other hand , were amazing , the production design and costumes were perfect , and the casting ideal , so i kept hoping that the film would pick up and not turn into yet another mediocre outing for the man .
but it was n't not long before i was fully engaged by the characters , entertained by the many zingers delivered back - and - forth between allen and hunt , and actually interested in the resolution of the flick .
i also appreciated how allen played the fine line between homage to the films of old , parody and actual reinvention ( note theron 's entire female persona that is drenched in film noir- very cool ) .
of course , films like this ( with little or no real tension in the plot ) need solid actors to keep you interested in the quick - fire dialogue , and once again
, allen does a great job in playing his character , who for once , is n't his typical new york jewish neurotic cheating insecure husband dude .
he actually plays a " macho " guy here and handles it pretty well , especially the scenes in which he 's hypnotized .
but the bigger surprise for me in this film was helen hunt , an actress who i was openly " sick of seeing " in movies late last year ( sorry babe , you were just in too many at the same time ! ) .
anyway
, she 's really great in this film
as the headstrong woman looking to a new era of equality amongst men , and does n't miss a beat of allen 's fast - paced dialogue .
i did n't care much for her running joke about him " dying " whenever he left a room , but overall she was really good
and i especially liked the way that her sweaters clung to her breasts as they did .
..
yum , yum !
harumph , but i digress .
so let 's recap .
a great looking picture with a nice jazzy score , some funny one - liners , especially in the second half , a decent plotline , although you should n't expect a real mystery or anything , and some solid acting all around .
i ca n't say that this is even remotely close to any of allen 's best work , but i certainly believe it to be a step in the right direction , especially after the dinky decade of films that he just went through .
it 's probably better geared towards allen fans more than anyone else ,
but i would still recommend this film to anyone looking for a cute , " old - school " kind of vibe , with chemistry between the leads , zippy dialogue and a satisfying conclusion .
