movie review - The Right to Remain Silent
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1997.04.07
Things are definitely looking up for April! This movie is about the first night on the job for a rookie cop (played by Lea Thompson). It involves a black man (LL Cool J) who went undercover (literally) to investigate the Ku Klux Klan, an elderly man (Carl Reiner, looking elderly indeed!) who euthanized his wife, a strung-out pizza deliverer (Amanda Plummer) who survived an assault by shooting her way out, and more. It actually gets touching, which Hollywood usually doesn't, but it's still a mess.
Not recommended.
