The Painter (I) (2024)
1/10
I borrowed the start of the review... SORRY!
14 January 2024
Apologies to toonarly for copying and pasting his review, but it saved me a lot of time.

Like the beekeeper, the bricklayer , the engineer, the equalizer is this new story about a similar "common job" person called "the painter" like all the others he's very good at his "common job" but underneath is a very well trained CIA operative... and bla, bla, bla.

It is the second time today that I stop at around 30 something minutes to write a review, just because I have to get it out now... there is nothing these people will (or can) do until the end of the movie to change my opinion.

Although I will finish watching it (that's how sad and empty my life is), I will pose some questions:

  • Why would John Voigt accept to take part in this mummery?


  • The two CIA "girls" are the most out of place characters to ever appear in a film (I have been watching about 2 a week since I was 6, and I am now 45). I would understand if they were gorgeous (movie is bad, so atttention has to be drawn from somewhere), or if they were ugly (meaning they were cast by skill)... they are just "pffff looking" and flat out bad actresses... unbeliavably artificial!!!!!


  • Do directors watch the scenes after shotting them? Isn't there anyone there to questionn the acting? Can'y anyone with common sense come out and say: "I see better acting in Cambodian brothels! Do better!"?


  • Isn't "attack on the cinema industry" categorized as felony? Making movies like this should get people in jail (not the actors... these poor bunch don't have more in them. It's their bosses who should be arrested!)?


The star I give is for Leah Gibson... she is mesmerizingly pretty in a very natural way and plays her simple part just as it's meant for (I hope someone, at some point, gives her a good chance in a good movie).

At least I killed another 100 minutes of my inconsequential existance. I hope the rest of the movie causes me to fall asleep... it would dignify my afternoon.
