[EX Q]: the job of the film critic is to see a movie and write a review of it that tells you what it 's about and why it 's good or bad .
i feel kind of embarrassed to admit this , but i after having seen " get carter
" i really ca n't tell you what it 's about although i could go on and on about how and why it 's a bad movie .
" get carter " falls into that category of ?
movies that continue to be made for reasons unknown to anyone outside of a hollywood executive board room .
you might call them the " steven seagal / mickey rourke / jean - claude van damme / wesley snipes school of mediocre action / crime thrillers .
"
you know - the potboilers that are heavy on fistfights , shoot - outs and car chases but really light on plot and character development .
they have stories where the so - called hero just keeps running into characters who have some connection to one of the other characters who are all antagonists without a reason for being in the movie other than to give the protagonist someone to fight , chase or shoot at .
sylvester stallone stars as jack carter , a las vegas - based mob enforcer who returns home
* for his brother 's funeral .
he believes his brother ?
richie was " taken out " and did n't die from a dwi accident .
carter 's one of the most cliche bad - asses ever captured on celluloid .
his face alone is pretty intimidating and there 's quite a few scenes in which he leans on both regular citizens and criminal lowlives simply by staring them down and speaking with confidence in his " rambo - on - testosterone - therapy " voice .
stallone 's performance in this movie is so forced and unnatural
he does n't realize he 's mocking himself .
the actual story involves carter 's investigation into his brother richie 's death .
he 's in a town that 's not his
but somehow the local top dogs know him very well .
mickey rourke co - stars as one of these characters , a sort of crime boss who has something to do with running a porno web site and blackmailing a young internet tycoon
( played by alan cummings looking and acting a lot like pee wee herman ) .
there 's also another plot involving richie 's mistress , a secret cd - rom with some convicting and disturbing evidence on it and something terrible involving one of carter 's still - living relatives .
i 'm rolling my eyes
just thinking about trying to critique all this in a way that could be remotely comprehendible .
i could just rip the screenplay to shreds , plus the direction or the editing or the production values but that would require discussion of nearly every scene in order to explain it all .
i do n't like to put spoliers in my reviews either intentionally or accidentally .
yes , " get carter " is just that complicated and complex .
and what 's worse is that it 's not this intricate to make it seem smart like " the usual suspects " for example - just the opposite .
you get the feeling whoever wrote this script
did it in short intervals spaced far apart
and they probably did n't remember what had already happened and did n't figure out how each scene would lead in to the next one or how the major plot points would work towards the climax .
all you really need to know is that most of the film is just scenes of carter tracking down one scumbag or supposed witness after another , asking them what they know , getting information and then realizing that if he was n't a complete idiot he could have figured it out in the first five minutes .
although the supporting characters are equally stupid themselves since they tell him everything which comes back to haunt them in one violent way or another .
making a movie entirely about criminals does n't necessarily mean they have to be unlikable and cliche cutout characters .
mel gibson starred in " payback " a few years ago
that had a story not unlike this one but had such a good screenplay you could n't help
but like him even though he was just as bad a guy as jack carter .
so ultimately " get
carter " fails for pretty much every selling point it has
. carter is not a likable character and you really do n't care if he gets revenge or not .
the action sequences are not at all exciting or original .
the enemies and their massive conspiracy are not threatening at all ( c'mon , you know who 's going to win every brawl and shoot - out and car chase ) .
in the end you do n't feel nearly satisfied with the results .
the filmmakers did a good job in doing everything as unoriginal as possible .

the city is never mentioned by name
but i assume it 's seattle since all the cars have washington license plates
and it 's always raining .

[EX Q]: close your eyes for a moment , if you will , and imagine the sound of stephen rea 's gaelic brogue , silky smooth and irish like a pint of guinness .
a lackadaisical , naughty little schoolboy voice that flirts and gambols .
an acerbic , sing - song metered voice that evokes the startling imagery and language of anthony burgess '
" a clockwork orange .
"
a voice that deliciously conjures scenes both porcine and puerile , like those out of " delicatessen , " or " the tin drum .
" imagine all of that , and you 'll get a good sense of what you can expect from " the butcher boy .
" imagine that and more .
neil jordan 's latest film " stars " rea in more ways than one .
rea ,
the accomplished irish actor most notable from his star turn in jordan 's " the crying game ,
" contributes a restrained and managed performance as da brady , a small town drunk in an unnamed irish community in the 1960s .
but it 's his wall - to - wall narration as the butcher boy of the title
, da brady 's son , francis , that makes rea 's " performance " worth watching , worth listening to .
and that 's only half the fun .
playing the young francie
brady is newcomer eamonn owens and he is , without a doubt , a revelation
. for as much as rea 's voiceover permeates almost every scene of " the butcher boy , " owens commands virtually every frame .
it 's impossible to take your eyes off him .
with his crop of carrot - colored hair , ruddy complexion , and overall grubby appearance , francie brady is an unlikely hero , refusing to be done in by his alcoholic , trumpet - playing father , his depressive , suicidal mother , or the neighboring , bespectacled monster known as mrs .
nugent ( fiona shaw ) .
in fact , everything was ok until " the nugent " came to town .
now , she poses as much a threat to the safety and security of town bully francie and his best pal joe ( alan boyle ) as the looming commie menace ( " the butcher boy " is set at a time when the fear of nuclear obliteration is first and foremost in the minds of many ) .
" pigs !
" screams mrs .
nugent at the brady menagerie .
"
you 're all pigs !
"
it 's the start of many a related image .
after ma brady is shipped off to the " garage " for psychiatric observation and da brady downs one bottle of whiskey too many , francie finally loses grip of his fantasy world of cowboys and indians , the lone ranger , and other comicbook characters .
squealing like a stuck pig , francie does " the likes o ' that " on the nugent 's living room floor , and is himself whisked away to a very catholic remand home for " boney arsed bogmen , " where his ever fertile imagination -- and clever chicanery -- runneth over .
director jordan 's vivid treatment of pat mccabe 's nightmare novel produces a sometimes disturbing , dark comedy littered with surreal touches ( such as sin ?
ad o'connor playing the virgin mary ) .
it 's not as outlandish as the trailers make out ; instead , this remarkable film focuses on the effects external influences have on the friendship between two boys ( schoolboy chums in real life ) , allowing us to empathize with their plight in the presence of extraordinary behavior .
it 's bleak and it 's black
but it 's fundamentally very funny
.
rea talks us through it , beautifully , and owens drags us though it ,
admirably
, and , in tandem with jordan 's sure hand , theirs are contributions to make " the butcher boy " a film worth savoring .

[EX Q]: here 's a rarity : a children 's film that attempts to tackle a weighty subject , is there a god ?
done well
, it could have been a gem among the wasteland of modern children 's cinema .
unfortunately , it is n't . with jumbled messages , and an unclear audience , wide awake was better left asleep .
fifth grader joshua beal ( joseph cross )
is in the middle of a moral crisis .
his beloved grandfather ( robert loggia ) has died , and joshua has begun a quest .
he wants to find god , to discover why bad things happen .
this religious quest is slightly disturbing for his parents ( dana delany and denis leary ) , but they do their best to cope with their son as he explores different religious faiths .
at his catholic school , his favorite teacher , sister terry ( rosie o'donnell ) , tries to give him guidance , but this is a journey he must make on his own .
meanwhile , he is having the most momentous year of his life .
he has several adventures with his daredevil best friend dave ( timothy reifsnyder ) , he gets his first crush , and begins to wake up to the world around him while he is on his spiritual journey .
it is somewhat confusing
as to what the real audience for wide awake is expected to be .
on its surface , it appears to be a kid 's film .
however , it deals with serious issues , and is likely to be boring for today 's instant - gratification kids .
and while it might seem heartening to see that someone is trying to produce something thoughtful for the kidvid audience , wide awake asks serious questions , but only delivers a cheap gimmick for an answer . if there were a bit more meat in the story , adults on a nostalgic bent might get a kick out of the movie .
the actors who might have created a great cast ( o'donnell , leary and delany ) are wasted in roles that amount to little more than cameos .
the nostalgic elements ( best friend , favorite teacher , first crush , etc . ) have been done much better in other movies , and actually seem more like filler here .
the film 's strongest scenes are some touching flashbacks depicting joshua 's relationship with his grandfather .
they show more depth than is present anywhere else in the movie .
maybe the film would have been better if , instead of playing the relationship through flashbacks , it were set entirely during joshua 's last year with his grandpa .
it certainly would have been more entertaining .
wide awake can best be described as a failed experiment .
it starts out with noble aspirations , but never delivers on its promise .
parents who do take their children to see this one ought to be prepared to answer some tough questions .
. . that is if their kids are n't bored to death first .
