Ricochet

In spite of its low ratings, I thought this was an excellent film. John Corbett made the movie good and his sweet partner helped a great deal. Definitely check this one out .

Yes, it's lightweight, and it's a shame to waste John Corbett on a movie like this, but it's sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-out-COVID-19 time, so I watched the whole thing. Formulaic, yes. But at least there's no conflicted romance between the two detectives. The plot got kind of hard to follow - too many characters dropping in and out, and one that was already dead and never dropped in at all. There was menace, but it too was lightweight, though it rose to a crescendo at the end. Corbett's character, soured on romance, is self-protective; reassuringly, he has a warm work relationship with his partner. I like Corbett (check out Elvis has left the Building and My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Gary Cole's subdued his role, Julie Benz was adequate, and I'd like to see more of Kelly Overton when we're no longer watching semi-soothing movies

I normally hate any review I ever see with a score of 1/10, No film is that bad, BUT this is so bad its a disaster. The Lead character (Hatcher) is terrible! All over the place, with some of the worst acting you are likely to see. A chubby guy acting half tough bad man, half lady love machine. Just so bad!! And don't start with his partner. Even worse. The Film is the sort of CSI feel you see on TV every night. The way two detectives hound and disrespect a judge is ridiculous. The story is also way off anything nearly believable. By all means watch this 89 minute Cop flick but it is a howler and I m pretty sure you will agree.

The main disappointment of this movie is that it is suppose to be set in Savannah, GA. The scenery, music, water ways, housing and buildings are nothing like Savannah.

Guess that's not that important to those who don't know the beautiful city of Savannah. But, to me it was a slap in the face to that great historic city. The only true scene was at the very beginning when they show the opening credits.

The storyline was very good. John Corbett and Julie Benz did an excellent job carrying the film.

Overall, good suspense movie.

Dear readers!

You can always trust my 100% honest reviews.

I do not understand IMDB 10-point rating scale. My rating is like this: -- 1 - WATCH & WATCH AGAIN! (Movie is watchable & can be watched again in the future.) -- 2 - WATCH! (Movie is watchable & entertaining.) -- 3 - DO NOT WATCH! (Movie is NOT watchable.) --

VERDICT : The movie RICOCHET 2011 is rated : WATCH!

-------------------- Remarks: The movie keeps you watching. Complicated script. Good cinematography and production. Many outdoor scenes and locations. Vivid colors. Courtroom, judge, male-female detective pair, intrigue, murder, romance between detective and female suspect. The only problem is that the scenes where they hit each other are not convincing.

Thank you for your attention.
