NOTES |
Mel Gibson
at beginning chats with a black Vietnam vet in a |
|
wheelchair.
It would seem just to establish his street cred. |
|
He goes into
his flat via roof, has loads of locks even on his |
|
fridge (and
he's not in a student block) and there's a lock on a |
|
coffee jar
in fridge. A very twee paranoia. As if Julia R. would |
|
give such a
nutter the time of day. |
|
Even if he's
proved right he's still one of the 'green ink' |
|
In my view
Gibson is simply not a good enough actor to |
|
portray the
ambiguities of this character. |
|
Much is
borrowed in the film: the bomb from Hitchcock, |
|
chaining the
CIA car from Diner (Eddie Murphy used a banana to similar
effect in Beverly Hills Cop, in Last Seduction Linda Fliorentino
(sic?)
used a piece of wood with nails). |
|
Julia
Roberts is well out of place. |
