Good-bye Harrison Ford, have a @#$!! box-office!
|
| It's an intriguing premise: a brilliant,disillusioned (and sometimes delusional) inventor heads out, along with his family, into the remote sub-tropics of Central America to forge a new society. That's the plot of the Mosquito coast, adapted from the novel by Paul Theroux and featuring an energetic performance by Harrison Ford, as well as a few virtually non-existant ones by the rest of the cast, and it works, up to a point. The movie is interspersed with a few fairly compelling moments, such as the confrontations between Harrison Ford's borderline psychotic inventor and the exploitative missionary who has journeyed to the sub-tropics to preach "God's word", and clearly has alot on it's mind, but is nevertheless meandering, predictable (the tone of the movie is essentially the same throughout; one of ominous foreboding. From the onset, we know that Ford's plan is doomed to fail), and texturally uneven, with Director Peter Weir and screenwriter Paul Schrader ultimately biting off far more than they can chew. |
