movie review - Two Days in the Valley

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.04.08

For a formulaic Hollywood flick, this one is an entertaining, slick film. The interesting ensemble cast plays off each other in a series of crosses, mis-cues, and attempted murder. But, overall it's a low-budget knock-off of a Tarantino film, or perhaps an Elmore Leonard story and doesn't compare.

Not recommended.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
