JADE CERTAINLY HAS SOME GOOD QUALITIES. IT'S PRETTY STYLISH, THE MUSIC FILLS IT WITH STYLE, AND SOME SPOOKY PIANO TRACKS. THE DIRECTION FROM WILLIAM FRIEDKIN IS FIRST RATE, AND THERE ARE SOME FINE PERFORMANCES FROM CHAZZ PALMINTERI AND LINDA FIORENTINO. DAVID CARUSO IS OK IN THE MOVIE, BUT I THINK HE IS WEAK IN SOME OF THE ACTION SCENES. MICHAEL IS GREAT AS BOB HARGROVE, AND MAKES HIM PRETTY UNLIKABLE. THE CAR CHASES ARE GREAT, BUT AGAIN CARUSO'S ACTING FLAWS THEM.
IT IS BRAVE FOR TACKLING THE SEX GENRE, WITHOUT TURNING IT INTO PORNOGRAPHY. ADMITTEDLY, I THINK THERE WAS A BIT TOO MUCH IN THERE, AND THE MOVIE COULD HAVE WORKED WITHOUT SOME OF THE SCENES.
THIS MOVIE IS HARSHLY TREATED ON IMDB,
6/10 |
