The Kate Logan Affair

I don't understand why this is rated badly, probably because most of you cannot get the image of 'rory gilmore' out of your heads. Really interesting especially for Psychology and Criminology students. Alexis Bledel plays a fantastic role and it is defo worth the watch! Especially as it is based on a true story.

A minor Canadian production that brings an unusual plot, certainly it wasn't so unrealistic, as many suppose, a mature French businessman Beinot Gando work with insurances came to Canada to attend a meeting, he was mistaken with a rapist at large and a female Cop Kate Logan try arrest him, under a unfriendly approach, through his passport he proves to be who he really is, after this point the ashamed Cop invites him to a drink, as sincere apology, aftermaths both were involved by sex, then the fatality comes, a Cop's gun was shot by accident at motel room, she is afraid to be fired under this fact, they decide running, Logan takes over of all decisions, cold and scheming she try find a best thing to do, the time is running, what seems a simple misunderstood becomes strongly matters to solve, the audience hope for a fair ending, the worst still didn't come...but it is near.... Palatable and unpredictable!!!

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

The whole film feels like a Rory Gilmore dream in which Alexis Bledel tries to take acting seriously, but still fails because the script is just bad...

I'm a big fan of Alexis since Gilmore Girls. I watch all her movies.

This something less entertaining. The story begins well. The characters are there, the setting. One, a small town cop, played Alexis, and one french visitor/tourist, played by Laurent. But the writer didn't know what to do with them.

How they come together, why all the things happen, it feels forced, it feels way to convenient to be believable. Its OK to have one bad judgment as a character. Maybe two. Even three. But a chain of bad judgments, not out of emotion or situation, but just why there is no other way to advance the story? People should react as people, not as cutout characters following a script. How everything goes down and the final "words", its way to contrived. In no way this would happen like that. Especially foreigners wouldn't go down this route by any measurement.

The characters are played OK. I have wished Alexis would do something else than this. Just for her I give an extra point for trying. If you are a true fan and need to watch all her works, wait for this when it comes in the early morning repeat on public TV.

A supposed noire thriller that ends up coming across as a fruity and bizarre dark comedy for most of the film's running time. An event eventually occurs which then plunges the film into a dreary vortex of soulless performances, weak and uninspired dialogue, and all round sheer mediocrity. Everything that made the film bearable up to that point - the awkward yet authentic dialogue, the quirky characters and comedic cockups - suddenly dissipates into thin air leaving behind a slightly more focused film but also an ultimately depressing, boring and uneventful one. The ending's just as confused as the rest of the film. Instead of being some kind of ironic wink and nod , it feels more like a desperate attempt at trying to salvage something from the unfocused mess that's occurred over the past 80 minutes.
