[Q]: synopsis : two con artists find the perfect patsy in harry ( woody harrelson ) - - an inept former journalist who trips and bumps his head into a post , tries to slap a girl and gets poked in the eye , has ill - timed fits of coughing , and fails at everything he does .
the story is told from harry 's point of view .
harry always carries around a shot of whiskey although he swears he does n't drink .
one day harry is approached by the con girl rhea ( elisabeth shue ) , who is similar to harry in that she carries around a cigarette but swears she does n't smoke .
seduced , harry agrees to participate in a money - making scheme involving faking the kidnapping of odette ( chloe sevigny ) , the teenage daughter of a rich man .
turns out , it 's all part of a needless , very puzzling , extremely elaborate and convoluted scheme
( it involves hiring special impersonators ) by two cons in order to fool harry , a hero who barely has the intellectual capacity of a wooden post .
when the ' kidnapped ' odette is found dead , the clues point to harry as the kidnapper / murderer , and the police are hot on harry 's trail .
harry suddenly realizes he has been framed while others have taken the ransom money .
can he get out of this mess ?
opinion : palmetto is a long , uninteresting film with all the wrong feel .
hero harry is an inept bungler who trips up often and consistently overestimates his own intelligence .
this farcical kind of character works best in an entertaining naked gun action comedy or dragnet spoof .
but palmetto is played like a dark , serious , detective noir drama , and watching harry 's bumbling confidence amounts to an irritating distraction .
there 's a lapse in concentration in the middle of the movie as the camera goes wild on breasts , buttocks , short skirts , colored painted nails , and women 's legs .
even when the focus is supposedly on harry and his dilema , you can always notice the side of elizabeth shue 's breast forming a prominent foreground .
towards the end , palmetto re - focuses on plot for the grand finale - - a confusing explanation involving impersonators , with woody harrelson handcuffed and suspended over a tub of acid as he hears the criminals ' confession . if you can imagine ' shemp ' from the three stooges playing the detective hero of an hbo ' lingerie suspense ' thriller , that 's how out of synch this movie feels .

[Q]: sam ( matthew broderick ) is an astronomer in a small american town and engaged to teacher linda ( kelly preston ) .
he is head over heels in love and lindas sudden departure to new york city to live with her new lover anton ( tch ? ky karyo ) comes as a complete surprise to him .
but as we all know love is blind and so sam leaves for new york as well to win her back .
he moves into an abandoned house across the street from anton 's apartment and installs a camera obscura to watch them .
suddenly anton 's ex maggie shows up , but she does not want her former lover back .
on the contrary , all she wants to do is vaporize him .
she may say that she does n't want to kill him , but the possibility does n't bother her too much either .
after all , people die every day .
in spite of their different motives the two team up and fall for each other as things move on .
the story sounds like something we all have seen a million times .
but we have n't .
griffin dunne brings us the most charming comedy
since " while you where sleeping " .
the camera obscura adds a " special something " to the movie and makes it an exceptional romantic comedy .
everything about the movie is perfect , from set design to casting .
the dialogues are inspired and the touches of black humor add a certain bite .
meg ryan , known from " when harry met sally " or " sleepless in seattle " , surprises in a role that may finally help her get rid of her sweet little girl image .
she impresses the viewer as a maneating biker girl .
even more surprising is the fact that the viewer believes her , much more so than in last years " courage under fire " where she played a gulf war pilot .
matthew broderick is the goodnatured and somewhat naive sam who has trouble accepting reality .
the viewer can tell that he does n't only watch the stars but also tries to reach out for them .
he has trouble keeping in touch with reality .
after all , who would leave everything behind to chase a lost love ?
his naivet ? that we do n't question for a minute throughout the movie clashes with maggies exaggerated wish for revenge .
she would do anything to harm anton .
she does n't hesitate to use sam for her plan and makes him understand right from the beginning that nothing will happen between the two of them .
that makes the scenes when they innocently share a bed , have potatoe chips and watch the action across the street like a saturday night show on tv even funnier .
tch ?
ky karyo is perfect as anton .
he is , well , repulsive .
that 's all there is to say about him .
you ca n't really manage to pity him , even after all his mishaps .
he not only took sam 's bride away from him , he is also a french chef .
worlds collide , i .
e .
the usa and france .
this can only go wrong .
even if maggies revenge schemes are at times shocking , you just ca n't sympathize with a man who plays " je t'aime . . .
moi non plus " on his tape deck .
not everyone is captured by the french charme that linda and even maggie fell for .
sam certainly is n't . too bad for anton .
for him things take a turn to the worse .
" addicted to love " is one of this year 's most pleasant surprises .

[Q]: robocop is an intelligent science fiction thriller and social satire , one with class and style .
the film , set in old detroit in the year 1991 , stars peter weller as murphy , a lieutenant on the city 's police force .
1991 's detroit suffers from rampant crime and a police department run by a private contractor ( security concepts inc . )
whose employees ( the cops ) are threatening to strike .
to make matters worse , a savage group of cop - killers has been terrorizing the city .
on murphy 's first day of duty , after his transfer from another precinct , these cop - killers brutally murder him by shooting off his limbs one by one .
( orion pictures had to edit this extremely graphic scene in order to get an r rating from the m .

after the emergency room staff at the hospital can not save murphy and declare him clinically dead , s .
c .
i .
recruits his remains for their new " robocop " program .
using the remains of murphy 's body as a foundation , their scientists build a cyborg , made of both flesh and metal .
the cyborg ( robocop ) is half human ( murphy ) and half robot ;
the s .
c .
i .
engineers have erased murphy 's memory and replaced it with a computer program ( or so they think ) .
with his lightning quick reflexes , immense strength , and impenetrable armor , s .
c .
i .
envisions robocop as an indestructible super - cop : the solution to detroit 's problems .
the remainder of the plot follows robocop 's crime - foiling and vengeance on his murderers .
as a science fiction action - thriller , robocop is extremely effective .
dutch director paul verhoeven combines gritty action with suspense , shocking gore , and spectacular special effects .
several sequences in the film , such as the one in which robocop employs his extremely precise aim to stop a rapist , are destined to become cult - classics .
because robocop is so visually and emotionally rousing , it demands to be seen on a large screen with an audience -- in other words , in a movie theater .
although the special effects and action are exciting , they do not by themselves set robocop apart from other films in the genre .
rather , robocop stands out for its accurate and biting satire of american society .
the movie makes a mockery of the star wars defense initiative , terrorism , board games , and television news broadcasts with air - headed anchors .
these news broadcasts , which are exceptionally clever , recur periodically throughout the movie and help to provide comic relief from the intense action and gore .
the satire in robocop , however , is almost as frightening in its own way as the suspense and blood .
1990 's america , as portrayed in the film , may seem far fetched but is in actuality ( i think ) only a slight exaggeration of the current state of american society .
the humorous satire in robocop is simultaneously credible and absurd .
verhoeven adroitly balances the satirical comedy with the gory action to create an entertaining and enlightening piece of science fiction / social commentary .
unfortunately , robocop possesses several flaws which prevent it from qualifying as a classic within the genre .
the movie lacks the lasting impact of such films as the road warrior , the terminator , and aliens .
robocop 's main problem , aside from its dumb title , is that it does not sufficiently develop murphy 's character .
we never learn the degree to which murphy ( as robocop ) is human and the degree to which he is a robot .
does murphy have any human spirit or free will left , or is he merely a computer following a program ?
the script halfheartedly raises these issues but then abandons them in its climactic flurry of gory action .
moreover , it almost completely ignores the question ( and tragedy ) of denying a man his right to die in favor of turning him into a machine .
robocop also contains several bothersome loose - ends .
as you watch robocop , you experience deja vu ; you feel as if you have seen the film before .
in many respects , robocop is reminiscent of several other films , including the terminator , return of the jedi , and even death wish .
however , to its credit , robocop easily has enough originality and unique personality to avoid becoming a cheap rip - off .
