Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Michael Ledo This is a slow moving neo-noir modern western. Mickey Rourke plays Nate Poole, a jazz player has-been who has been caught with a mobster's wife. He is taken out into the desert to be shot when suddenly a group of Native Americans, dressed in white, shoot his killer. Nate walks until he reaches a sideshow carnival, complete with a woman with huge angel wings (Meagan Fox) named Lily Luster (short for Lilith, a fallen angel?). As the carnies are ready to kill Poole, Lily rescues him.Rhys Ifans plays Sam Adamo (another Biblical reference as Lilith in mythology was Adam's first wife). He is the head carny and Lily's caretaker. Nate plans to exploit Meagan by going back to the mobster Happy Shannon (Bill Murray) who is anything but happy, as he is a "recent widower." Nate is aided by Harriet (Kelly Lynch) who runs the "Dream Lounge" in case you thought we were running out of symbols/metaphors. Oh yes, Happy's real name is "Michael" like the angel.Poole seems to ruin his chance for redemption when he decides to exploit "angel." The movie contains tons of slow, seemingly useless, endless dialouge. The Sartre ending was expected as soon as the first shot was fired. This is more of an "indie" style movie or perhaps an "art" film. I think everybody will find something boring in this film in spite of the haphazard use of metaphors.F-bombs, one dimly lit sex scene, nudity (not Meagan).

reedstafford This film is a good locate, I am really astonished at a number of the spew geared toward this movie. I really enjoyed observing it, and it pulled a lot of emotion. This cinematography was outstanding, the audio excellent. The was an surprising incredibly partaking Film that life nearly its title. At coronary heart this is a religious drama. Plainly as a result of actors involved, the incorrect audience viewed this Motion picture. That's the only way I can fathom the ridicuously unfavorable evaluations. The Qualified critics seemed for the most part missed the point completely. This was an great film. This movie is unquestionably not for everyone. The story generally is a bit gradual however it is however fantastic. The movie tells an odd enjoy Tale in between Mickey Rourke's and Megan Fox's characters. The performing is fairly great and isn't going to disappoint. Unquestionably worth the rent.

contreras-daniel238 In "Passion Play," Nate(Mickey Rourke), a down and out trumpet participant, could be lifeless Otherwise for your intervention of a group of yank Indian ninjas who are still impolite adequate not to present him a elevate back into town. Hrs afterwards, he stumbles throughout a traveling sideshow. Only planning to know in which a telephone is from Sam(Rhys Ifans), the barker, he receives a lot more than he could have ever bargained for in the individual of Lily(Megan Fox), a winged question. Upon realizing that her wings are authentic, Nate also discovers Sam and a number of other Many others at the rear of him meaning to do him harm. As an alternative to it remaining ninjas this time, it's Lily who rides to the rescue in the pickup truck. In gratitude, Nate has Harriet(Kelly Lynch) set up a offer to further more protect his pores and skin with Satisfied Shannon(Monthly bill Murray)."Passion Play" is surely an oddly beguiling throwback to the days of burlesque joints, traveling carnivals, vinyl and mobsters.(Could it be any surprise that a key late scene is set inside of a museum?) Fitting in properly with that topic is Megan Fox together with her typical superior seems, probably proving that she was born sixty to 70 many years too late. In fact, Regardless of the broad distinction within their ages, Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox, equally Hollywood outcasts, generate a great pair.

garza-stacey959 I ultimately viewed this movie with my dad on his laptop hooked towards the TV set and I appreciated it.What I beloved about it's the story moves in a sluggish tempo and lets the people evolve extra freely. A lot of men and women would think gradual is uninteresting, but not me. The portrayal of the figures and the selection of who plays that is casted effectively.Megan Fox proved her performing truly worth In this particular movie a lot better than any of her other movies. Mickey Rourke performed the right down-on-his-luck type of man looking to place his existence back together, and struggling at it. Invoice Murray's challenging, nevertheless suave character proves that even a comic can Participate in tough.The new music contains a essential role in setting the mood for each scene and Dickon Hinchliffe nailed it.
