Watch Catch.44 For Free

Simply Perfect

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

While "Catch .44" has an incredibly simple storyline, it does have some rather interesting elements; the way that the story was put together with usage of present and past events. But what really carried the movie was some really good acting performances.The story is about Tes, Kara and Dawn who decide to interfere with a drug Exchange, hoping to get their hands on either a large amount of cash or drugs. But the three women find themselves at a remote dinner at 3 o'clock in the night when everything is about to go down.Forest Whitaker was phenomenal in this movie and he alone makes the movie worthwhile to watch. It was also nice to see Bruce Willis in a bad guy role for a change."Catch .44" is driven by a phenomenal parade of acting performances. The movie could have taken on many more dimensions, were it not limited to playing out in a single diner. But director Aaron Harvey did manage to piece together a wholehearted movie.This movie is well-worth watching if you enjoy a fast-paced and entertaining movie, despite its simplicity.

I'm reminded of that scene in As Good as it Gets where Helen Hunt is telling Nicholson how charming and handsome she thought he was and then saying "and then, of course, you spoke." This flick had a good 'feel' to it with an engaging soundtrack and a talented cast. The plot-line, though formulaic to the point of cliché, showed basic promise, but past that, well, the resulting gross tells you what it was worth. Then, you look at the estimated cost and think, 'that's gotta sting' and hope for the writer/directer that the studio isn't owned by organized crime. Otherwise, it would be a sure bet he's already ended up like most the characters in his project. He obviously has an obsession with Tarantino's work, but like a trick horseback rider, you have to know how to do it right before you can put a spin on it to make it look professionally amateurish. As it is, the film only seems to serve as a stretching exercise for the talent while they wait for something else actually worth doing. This film went all wrong with the screen writing, i.e., wrong plot development, wrong dialogue, wrong character assignments; in a word, just plain wrong. I would have bounced out of this within the first 15 minutes, but kept wondering where Willis was and then if he could save it. He couldn't. In the end, even my curiosity about the music and who the girl in the Jag was met, like the movie as a whole, with a disappointing void.

Lame Tarantino knock-off/wannabe wastes a fine cast (Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker, Shea Whigham) and features an excruciatingly long stand-off that goes on seemingly forever (instead of wringing as much suspense out of it as possible, the director has the three pointing guns at each other rambling on and on, resulting in tediousness). Three babes (Malin Akerman, Nikki Reed, and Deborah Ann Woll) are given the job by Mel (Willis) to rob a diner, but it doesn't go off so well. A shotgun blast takes out Reed immediately as the film opens, blood pooling from her as the credits roll, preparing you for the way the film uses bludgeoning violence for any impact at all. Not one single likable character in the whole cast: everyone's out to grab that brass ring (or in this case, a bag of drug money), and a lot are dead by film's end because of it. Akerman gets the star billing and is designed as the anti-heroine of central focus. Her girls are taken out before her eyes in a job that was ransacked by betrayal from the onset (Mel is a shady scumbag who really shouldn't have been trusted). Then comes Billy (Whigham) and his shotgun, telling Akerman's Tes to put the gun down. This is a stand-off of two that becomes three when hit-man Ronny (Whitaker) shows up in a deputy uniform. Ronny carries a torch for Tes, every since seeing her in the strip club she waitresses. Tes is a natural pickpocket and moonlights as a robber, accepting jobs from Mel, pushing drugs for him. Backwards and forwards in time, replaying the shootout that killed Tes' girls, Catch .44 desperately desires to achieve that Tarantino cool, with long dialogue scenes (like Willis telling a story about Running Bear to Whitaker, Reed and Woll sharing sister-time (each telling the other how they feel about the next job that'd kill both of them) at a gas station, Whitaker using his stolen deputy uniform and cop car for kicks when he pulls over the girls, and Akerman sharing a conversation with Willis over a job) meant to mimic a Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, failing to conjure even a glimmer of the magic that made those films so much fun. Whitaker, who can be damned riveting in the right part, is saddled with a sweaty, pathetic creep, homicidal and tired. Willis, with these spots all over his neck and face, has seen better days than this. Brad Dourif is a sheriff who just keeps running up on crime scenes. Whigham doesn't have much here other than a character that orders around and shouts at Akerman, with the intent on removing any threats that could stand in his way. Plentiful outbursts of violence, profanity-laced back-and-forth, and full of unsavory characters, Catch .44 unfortunately doesn't feature anyone that interesting, nor does it surprise. Akerman is a babe, though, and she's easy on the eyes even if her character is about (if not just as) rotten as the people she surrounds herself with.

"Do you know where you're going? YES! Of course! Just come with me..It'll be alright,don't worry."Two facts can be said about the above:You said this to someone in your life,at least once. And two:someone said that to you.Did you/they really KNEW what they were doing? No. No. And you/they still said that,right? Why? Because...Well,I don't know.Does this Movie knows what it's doing? Probably not. This movie is like living;No one knows what they're doing,they all say they do,everything is confusing,then comes the end. Logically speaking,life does not make sense whatsoever. And so does this movie. Do not WATCH this movie,rather EXPERIENCE it like you do with life...But don't think or try to have it under control,or else you'll be confused and write another trashy review because you couldn't let go and EXPERIENCE this gem correctly,because of your shortcomings.
