Review of Rick

Rick (2003)
5/10
Weird movie that doesn't quite work.
22 March 2004
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie at a screening during South By Southwest in Austin.

While I couldn't put my finger on any one thing that I don't like about this movie, I just didn't leave the theater with a good feeling about this movie.

**SEMI-SPOILER AHEAD**

This might be because the movie offers absolutely no redemption at the end - the bad guy doesn't get it, the good guy does, etc. I also was uncomfortable with the amount of sexual tension that was created between Rick (Pullman) and his daughter (Bruckner). I understand why it was included, but think it was unnecessary.

**SPOILER OVER**

There were a lot of things that could have been better, and a lot of things that could have been worse. Bruckner is going to be big, I think - watch for her! Pullman doesn't quite pull off his performance, but is watchable.
