PLOT:
The film tells the story of 3 characters from different walks of life, who all intersect with each other unknowingly. First off there is Parmie Tarzo a mob boss, played by Vincent D'Onofrio. He wants nothing more than to be famous. Next we have Sully a septic tank cleaner, played by Ethan Hawke. He wants his unborn child to be a genius. Then we have Jasper, a deaf mute butcher, played by Seymour Cassel. He works as the mobsters butcher, hacking people up. After we meet all the characters and see a small glimpse of their lives, the story unfolds to show how they eventually connect with each other.
I have to say this film was a bit strange and unusual, but in a good way. It's listed as a crime, drama film but I found it to be more comical than anything. The story line was interesting enough and all 3 actors played their characters very well. D'Onofrio's character was a bit off the wall but that seems to be the case in all the roles he plays.
Ghost Rider
PG-13
I always enjoy watching films based on comic book characters, however Ghost Rider wasn't one of them. Maybe I was expecting to much from the film or more of a action packed film. The only actors to pull their weight in my opinion was Sam Elliott and Donal Logue and they only had very small, short roles. Was this film to hyped up cause Nic Cage had the starring role? Maybe he wasn't the best choice as Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider.
