movie review - Flesh and Bone
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1998.01.09
This film was good for a Dennis Quaid effort, but it was strangely slow and the dialogue predictable. Fairly gruesome where it's trying to be sinister, this is essentially a story about family problems (ranging from the horribly violent shoot-out to the horribly real divorce over mismanagement of the family funds). It's set in Texas, but Quaid can't do the accent (dunno why not), and his wife (Meg Ryan) is somehow unright for the role. Forgettable.
Not recommended.
Actually, it was so forgettable that even upon reading this again in 1999, it took two reads to even recall seeing this crap.
