AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

SnoopyStyle It's the Christmas season in L.A. Rose Johnny (Jessica Biel) is a drug-addicted stripper at Velvet Larry (Patrick Swayze)'s sleazy strip club with a coma kid in the hospital. Her dog escapes from her motel room and gets run over by shy mortician Qwerty Doolittle (Eddie Redmayne). Jack Doheny (Ray Liotta) is just released after 25 years in prison. His former boss Randall (Kris Kristofferson) gives him a suitcase full of money and directions to Rose Johnny. Charlie (Forest Whitaker) is a suicidally depressed ex-priest. He picks up transsexual prostitute Lexus (Alejandro Romero) and offers her his life savings of $50k to kill him with his gun. Doolittle is struggling for money and Charlie shows up offering the same deal. Waitress Sally (Lisa Kudrow) tries to show Charlie some kindness.These characters are all lost. There is an emptiness in these characters and quite frankly in this movie. The actors try their best but filmmaker Timothy Linh Bui can't really pull it all together. The scattered nature of the narrative diffuses any tension. It just fails to maintain my interest in these people. Somewhere in the first half, it needs to reveal the connections and the backstories.

Reaper I have always thought that Jessica Biel was overrated as an actress. After seeing this, I think she's even overrated as a beauty. Her breasts are nice, but not worth the wait.Notwithstanding the B+ list cast (Forest Whitaker may still be A-list, but surely Liotta has fallen off - it's been ages since Goodfellas - and Lisa Kudrow gets only an extended cameo), this film probably does not get green-lit if someone says, "hey! What if Jessica shows off her boobies!"The movie is trite and predictable. Liotta has come back from prison after 25 years. His interaction with Biel (before her nekkidness) is telegraphed virtually from the first scene. Whitaker is a defrocked or laicized priest (or maybe he just quit) whose moral dilemma has all the subtlety of a Mack truck. Qwerty, whose name is never explained, is as shallow a character as the keystrokes that gave him his sobriquet.The digital color enhancements (possibly old-fashioned filters, but I doubt it) are annoying - it's not just the blue snow; it's the blues and oranges that saturate every frame.When a filmmaker tries to be profound, but misses, he achieves only pretension, and that's what we have here. This is a pale imitation of Paul Haggis' Crash (which was itself a pale imitation of Altman's Short Cuts -- but we digress). Not worth the watch.

Rodrigo Amaro Multi-plot, hyper linked or mosaic films (as it is called here), whatever, I really love films like these specially when well made and with relevant things to show and tell. "Powder Blue" successfully is one of those since it has an good cast, a good story and memorable moments. Just fails a little in developing some of the moments, what can make of this film at times unbearably cheesy.Here we follow the days in the lives of an dying man (Ray Liotta) trying to connect with the daughter he never met after serving 20 years in jail; the girl (Jessica Biel) is an exotic dancer with financial problems and needs money to pay the medical bills of her comatose son; an suicide guy (Forest Whitaker) who can't cope with life anymore after his wife's death, but lacks courage to him pull the trigger and end with his life so he keeps finding someone who'll do that in exchange for money; and a young mortician (Eddie Redmayne) with lots of problems not only financial ones, almost going to bankruptcy, but also in dealing with girls. The story goes on with these characters who stumble upon each other trying to set their lives in a good way.Sure, "Powder Blue" is involving and has some relevance but it almost gets stuck in a enormous pack of predictable moments that is so obvious this character is going to meet that character that some viewers will find it a dull film. It's not dull, it just goes in ways it didn't need to go to such as the scene where Biel sexually offers herself to her son's doctor (so, so bad). Other times it almost achieves a sense of greatness with its sequences but when you have a film storage in the head like I do, you get the feeling that some elements would work in other film or they were taken from another film which doesn't make you say "It's taken from that film". Rather than that you'll say it's a copy! Example: the 1-2-3 hug scene is clearly an cheap reference to the great "Magnolia" (the kiss between Melora Walters and John C. Reilly), even the editing style is similar with the camera giving a zoom during the hug! It just lack some identity of its own.It is a beautiful picture, I loved its themes of giving second chances (or first at times) and loved the characters, all of them were interesting (Redmayne was my favorite even though the script said that the answer for his problems was to get involved with someone in similar conditions as he, with no money at all, and his change of profession wasn't all that cleared). The grandiosity of "Powder Blue" lies within these poor figures and if a movie gives, even if a small time, enough things to make you care about them, then you'll succeed it in making a film that is closer to life and relevant to it. Aside the problems it has, it's a good suggestion indeed. 8/10

kosmasp Life as we know it ... well not exactly as we know it, but then again characters and a story we can get behind. Or at least feel with the "players" (if you consider life a game that is). And while there have been quite a few movies that do use the cross time lines and different characters, that might or might not have a common goal or something else in common, this is a very nice tryout too.Just don't watch it for one scene involving Jessica Biel. If your sole purpose is to watch that scene, do not bother with the rest and fast forward to that scene and get it over with. Because you wouldn't care for the build-up and the character moments anyway. Of course they are important, but also put that scene into a perspective that some viewer might not like ...Having said that, if Drama is your cup of tea, you will watch it either way. Not "Crash", but still solid
