Customer Reviews of Truth or Consequences, N.M.
A good first try... TRUTH or CONSEQUENCES, N.M. is Kiefer Sutherland's directorial debut and it, indeed, is baptism by fire. Overall, the movie is not too bad. Damning by faint praise, perhaps? But... acting is good and cameos (Rod Steiger and Martin Sheen) add some class even if they (prosciutto)"ham" it up a bit. Kiefer Sutherland pushes bad-ass Curtis to the max but NIHILISM seems a safe plot these days (THE WAY OF THE GUN; MINUS MAN; DECEIVER/LIAR). I give Director KS credit for not over indulging in too much PM symbolism or coffee/in/out house existentialism. Also Vincent Gallo as Ray, and Kim Dickens as Addy are decent updates on the Bonny & Clyde anti-myth. (The gang-banger ending is lifted right from the B&C classic.) Kiefer Sutherland's pacing of the film is commendable. and does much to obviate less than serpentine plotting (Mykelti Williamson's role as Marcus, DEA double-player amidst thug's ensemble; interestingly allows for several...a deadly Phone Call...tense encounters). Truth or Consequences N.M., in effect, is low budget; low horizon action film with enough quirkiness and character engagement to hold a viewer's interest. Unless he's really looking for TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, Kiefer Sutherland's film is a good first try.
Bonnie & Clyde in the 90`s?
This interesting road movie/ crime drama is a worthwile directional debut for Kiefer Sutherland, a gripping low budget effort that easily stands above many disposable mainstream action blockbusters. The story brings nothing new, consisting in another heist situation where we are presented to a bunch of criminals and their operations. What makes the movie work is the character development, since these criminals are three-dimensional individuals and the viewer actually gets to know them as flawed people and not merely one-sided badass charicatures. Sutherland gets some ideas from a couple of Tarantino and Roger Rodriguez` films, going for the young-villains-on-the-run perspective with some witty and offbeat scenes, but overall he makes it work despite these influences. The acting is overall consistent, with Sutherland himself, infant terrible Vincent Gallo, Kevin Pollack and Kim Dickens. Even if it`s not terribly original, "Truth or Consequences N.M." works well as a whole and doesn`t seem like a rehash of previous ideas (even if it presents some predictable moments).
An enticing, character-driven gangster-movie.
Kiefer Sutherland directs his first movie
Sutherland, Gallo, Dickens and Williamson kidnap Kevin Pollack and her wife...meanwhile Martin Sheen and his corrupt men are on the chase after them...but the guys dont know that Williamson is a undercover cop...the shootout in the end is the highlight where Sutherland gets shotgunned...Pollack kills Sheen and then Gallo gets gunned down accidently...some things lag this but the action never faulters. Sutherland's first time directing
