FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
PeterMitchell-506-564364 I can't believe this film was the imagination of Stephen King. This crap is almost a ninety minute view of torture. Christian Slater playing evil and he doesn't do a half bad job of it as mob guy/slave trader, Dolan, who's now resorted to selling kids for suck clientele, and profiting fruitfully from it. He has his own supply of costumes on standby too, so he's got his s..t together. A beautiful witness, (Mia from Two And A Half Men) who has seen at first hand, the special cargo being loaded up, is taken out. The boyfriend, a teacher, now becomes completely obsessed and psychologically hell bent on tasking out Slater, first being worked over by him which intensifies his rage. Her image burns in his memory as he's sees a phantom of her on the lonely highway. He hatches a plan. He becomes a road worker, and carves out a section of loose bitumin, to entrap our Slater, which of course works, where Dolan's Cadillac goes under, with Slater begging for mercy. No suspense here, or in anything. That's it. End of movie. We see Slater minutes before going under, viewing some of the kiddies, on his laptop, holding numbers, a pang of conscience, looking away before looking back, but this son of a bitch has dug his own grave, the same place this movie should be laid to rest. The best part of this dreck is some of the hot girls in lingerie, put on show, but apart from that, forget it, this Cadillac sucks, this movie robbing people of their valuable time.
Philippe Horak The film „Dolan's Cadillac" addresses the sad issue of the traffic of illegal immigrants in the United States, in this case women destined for prostitution rings. Jimmy Dolan is one such trafficker. The part is played in a masterful way by Christian Slater who manages to appear as a particularly vicious and spiteful character. He is especially brilliant in the last scene. The film uses the old time narrative favorite of taking a Mr Everybody, in this case Wes Bentley in the part of a school teacher, placed in a situation he is not cut for, thus ensuring viewer identification with the main protagonist. A short thriller – unlike some other material by Stephen King – with good montage and music.
FlashCallahan Elizabeth witnesses the execution of two coyotes and an illegal immigrant by the human trafficker Jimmy Dolan and decides to report the incident to the police.However, she loses her cellular and Dolan finds it, tracks her address down and threatens her.Elizabeth goes to the FBI with Robinson and they move to a safe house under the protection of two agents.When Elizabeth sneaks from the house to buy pregnancy tests, her car explodes and she dies.Robinson decides to avenge Elizabeth's death....Another year and another King adaptation. This one borderlines the good and the average. Slater who hasn't aged since Kuffs, is the main draw here, whilst he doesn't really fit the bad guy role, there is some anarchy to be enjoyed in his rantings.But Bentley, proves that American Beauty was a one ff, as he is as wooden as ever before, spending the majority fthe film looking perplexed and imitating his life in the 2000's. He brings the film down and and causes scenes that should be intense, to be lethargic and overdrawn.The script is unintentionally funny with some great one liners, and the set up of revenge is executed greatly, but we have to endure Bentley for an hour to get to it.As I have pointed out, if you are a Slater fan, it's a great showboat for him, but all in all, it's a pretty, but pointless affair.
rlange-3 I'm not a major King fan although some of his work is clearly brilliant. I didn't read the story here but the basic concept is pretty obvious and it seems quite workable.The problem with the movie was that it dragged and dragged and dragged while beating us endlessly over the head with the fundamental plot points. Slater's character is a bad guy. We get that. It is not necessary that we go through scene after repetitive scene to prove the point. His rival is slowly driven nuts, becoming a sadist in his plans to seek revenge, however justifiable that might be. Unfortunately the acting is not strong enough to carry all this in a way that is entertaining. In fact it becomes downright boring. Do we really need to watch him shoveling dirt, falling over, shoveling more dirt, grabbing at water, pushing around a machine -- this plot line goes on and on and endlessly and pointlessly. Or rather the point is made in the first minute and followed by and endless sequence making the same point. Were they getting paid by the reel inch? I'll bet the short story was good. It's too bad they didn't make a short movie, because it might have been better.
