Not the best vehicle for Don - a father again - but still looks cool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepearl Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Watched !! Great movie - intense topic. If you have a family member who suffers Alzheimer or dementia you will see even more that Don is simply a fascinating actor who shows just that facettes his role needs in perfection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B. Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I guess I will go see it. The story looks interesting and I always thought Don is a talented actor, able to go well beyond the roles he's famous for. And in this last image he reminds me of someone... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepearl Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I only can support you to go for watching this movie, Jerry !!! . Unfortunately it is only released in 10 cinemas in entire USA . As video on demand it is to get with many sellers. Ah! Okay.... you had this 'mirror feeling' again - UNDERSTANDABLE!!!!! What gave me a happy grin during the show was this: There is a scene where 'Roger' talks during a cast conversation by stage to the director in the audience. All of a sudden the director stops him and asks: "Ah wait - you look familiar" to which Roger replies "I was on a television show for a long time." ;) The smirk with this is amazing-lol!!!!! Don is most wellknown to put in each movie a small personal sign. Also in this movie are to find images at the wall in his bedroom which show Sonny Crockett and Marlboro Man. That reminds so badly to Mr. Hitchcock who showed up in his movies for the break of a second like a ghost . So I am convinced this small change of words was built definitely in Dons head. Very funny !! Edited April 20, 2015 by bluepearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted April 20, 2015 Administrators Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I might watch it now too, since everyone else is. I'll watch it when I have nothing else to watch, probably on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 As much as I like Don Johnson, I think I'll pass on this movie. From the trailer, you don't see too much of him....but besides that, I rather see him in his cool, humorous & tough character. This looks like a chic movie.

bluepearl Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Toni D. please I do not reply to your state but you brought me to a general thougt, thanks for that. So - in general. I think just that state is what in all these now 30 years after MV prevented to accept Johnson in other roles than the cool cop. He never got the chance by the audience to show his talent in more smooth, funny or even meaningful roles. It worked again with Nash, no wonder. There he was cool, humorous and tough - a cop with a gun in his hand again. To me its a pity. There was a wide bow with which one could have enjoyed Johnsons spectrum. One only would have had to be more open. Significant today is how Johnson himself thinks about his work. As he said he is not interested anymore about how much success his work brings to him or anyone else. He only goes for himself now - checking out how much he is able to 'deliver' the book. I much appreciate he went with this role in this man named Roger who is struggling with getting aware of loosing his working mind more and more. There are much too less movies which pick up the topic Alzheimer/Dementia in these days. An illnes which will become the hostage of the future to us humans. If one has a family member which is suffering this disease you probabaly will watch the movie not only with your eyes to Johnson. Then one knows what is going on and probably only then one will take off hat because the full healthy Don Johnson delivers this drama again... IN PERFECTION.
