The Age of Commercialism
A lot of fun.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
If you are the kind of of person that loves movies about a guy framed because he is not white you may like it. Story is supposed about white politician framing someone not white. This have been done before and was already boring 10 years ago.If you like good acting you will hate this movie. Even Berrenger is not good.I read it was a thriller but honestly it felt more like a very bad episode of a lawyer TV show. There is really no development in the movie and it is all very oddly constructed to fit together. The parts fit as good together as a dolphins tail would fit on a cow. Unfortunately not in a fun way.The last 10 minutes they find out the plot of the movie sucked totally and makes a new quite unlikely twist that makes you see you wasted your life on this untalented and uninspired acting and story for far too long.
This is a decent legal suspense/thriller, if you can accept sweet little Melanie Griffiths as a kick-ass sex-crime lawyer, which she pulled off pretty well. She has to juggle returned perverts from the past with perverts from the present, and althought the plot isn't mind-boggling it's fine if you aren't expecting the world. It might be the equal of Copycat with Sigournay Weaver.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Tom and Melanie. There seemed to be just the right amount of tension between them to keep me guessing about whether they would get back together or not. Not to mention the twisted plot (not twisted enough to be unbelievable - it was perfect). Thanks! Cheryl Pinner
Tom Berenger really loves to surprise his audience, and in Shadow of Doubt, he once again has led us to believe he's the "still in love" DA with his former wife and attorney, Melanie Griffith. He comes across as a solid citizen and promoter of justice. Nevertheless, he underestimates Melanie's abilities as an attorney, and takes for granted that her feelings for him would protect him. It was wonderful to see Huey Lewis in this movie, and we can only hope to see more of him in the future.
