The Prime Gig (2000)
...but if you are bored...
7 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
My better half raved about this...'a must see.' I can only say it left me with many unanswered questions. The relationship between Penny and Joel, now that was rather unusual,it didn't seem well developed or explained. I kept waiting for something meatier, but that never came. The acting, as a whole, was creditable, though not stellar. Ed Harris, as usual, gives a star-winning performance, albeit, a rather smallish part. Vince, is, well, Vince. Ms Ormond did okay...I suggest she start taking better care of her skin...looks dry! It is so typical of so many 'other' movies out today...the plot is seen coming a mile away...no real surprises...with one exception: "spoiler:"...when Penny is speaking with Evelyn on the phone and visualizes them actually speaking in person...that made this movie worth watching...what a neat idea...that was great. The ending left me with a great big "?"...did I miss something??? Maybe I just wanted a little more...all in all, it's okay...not great by any stretch of the imagination...but if you are bored...rent it.
