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.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
