movie review - Nothing To Lose

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1997.07.20

Buddy movie with two goofs, one black, one white. It's about as stupid as you can get, but funny throughout. Really funny, despite the cliches and the predictable plot. Forgettable mind-candy, but worth seeing. The weirdest thing about this movie was the glaring continuity problems. A discarded gun reappears in one scene, a shotgunned rearview mirror reattaches itself to a jeep, and an abandoned car reappears in its owners possessions after the owner had taken another vehicle hundreds of kilometers away....

Recommended.

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.
