Waste of time
Fantastic!
As Good As It Gets
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
I'm sure Armand Assante and Benjamin Bratt enjoyed shooting this in the tropical islands. Unfortunately the audience must suffer in the comfort of their own living room watching this trivial nonsense. The characters are all boorish, the accents all bad, and the script is terminally boring "Are you with him or are you with me?" "I don't know". "After the Storm" is a mish mash of treasure plundering from a capsized cabin cruiser, an uneasy partnership of the scavengers seeking the treasure, corrupt police officers, female jealousy, terrible dialog from all concerned, a rubber shark attack, and on and on and on. Terrible. - MERK
It would be a waste of my time to talk very long about this movie and i think a waste of yours too.barely one hundred votes to this movie and i can figure why. personally I just wanted to see what others think about this movie after a wasted evening on this pic.Slow, stereotype actors (sorry bratt and assante), cliches, boring... I just rated it 5/10 but.... even that is too high!4/10
...and an incredibly bad one, as well. i've never read hemingway, so i don't know weather this is faithful or whatever, but i couldn't get on the mood.benjamin bratt bouncing around as the macho 'hero' is ridiculously poor.this man shouldn't be allowed to pretend being an actor. you live in denial, benji! armand assante and simone-elise girard do a better job, but there was nothing they could've done to save this miserable excuse for a movie. and, realistically, they are also quite mediocre actors, they just seem fine in this one considering the level of competition.the director tries to be all clever twisting and turning the events and trying to create a paranoid feel, but hey, when you can't do it, you just can't! the plot in it's childisness and predictability is so stupid it's not even funny. i suggest considering going back to your day job. (i had a hard time not to curse here)the studio must be happy to see the crew spend all the money having a nice little holiday somewhere in caribia, as the only thing i saw money spent on was the camera filter that made the movie look more expensive than it actually was. the jazzy music is annoying and unfitting, aand naturally the dialogue is on a 'me tarzan, you jane'-level.if you, after wathing 'after the storm' and 'wild things' still say mamet's movies suck i can't help you. you need serious treatment.1/10
Based upon the jacket's comments from critics and the SunDance recommendation I rented the DVD. About fifteen minutes in I thought I was wrong about the movie. It looked like a dog. But I kept with it and about forty minutes in it was all coming together. The beautiful scenery, the plot and the action. A good surprise at the end too. The behind the scenes on the DVD aren't worth talking about, much less watching, but the movie is.
