Powder Blue

vote only for Jessica Biel

A multi-plotted story in the vein of Crash, Powder Blue desperately wants to combine the acting powerhouse of Magnolia with the emotional melodrama of the aforementioned Crash. It's too bad that the story is bollocks and the screenplay is dimwitted. The cast tries their best to get muddle through their respective damnations and redemptions, but ultimately fall by the wayside to Jessica Biel's strip scene in the third act. In five years, that's all this film will be remembered for.

Two good things (situated between Jessica Biels hips and neck). The rest, well, every aspect related to the mise-en-scene, is quite frankly, unbearable. Forest Whitaker produced this catastrophe, and for the sake of all goodness in the world, I hope he regrets it every day of his life.

Jessica Biel playing a stripper good shit!

Powder Blue is ultimately not worth your time, even if I liked most of the actors in it. There's too much going on to tie up by the end, with a lot of important points being forgotten about at the mid-way point. Characters are difficult to understand as well, leading to more than one point in the film where you'll wonder why exactly they act the way they did. I also wasn't sure of what Powder Blue wanted to tell me, which is also part of the problem of using such a crowded and messy screenplay.

Besides Jessica Biel getting nude the movie overall sucked.

Poor. Film with a great start but it just melted away in the end like good but wasted ice cream. The premise is very familiar with intersecting stories of seemingly unrelated people, and with such a great cast, it sure must have been one hell of a shitty director who screwed this up. Not worth your time or money.

Lethargic drama lacks a powerful enough dramatic ballast to be involving - it doesn't help that the broadly defined and fairly thin characters interact and behave in ways at times that are baffling and alien, (Whitaker's death wish, Redmayne's sociopathic fixation on a stray pooch etc.) A sad waste of a terrific cast who do their best to rise to the occasion; Kudrow's cameo is a heartbreaker, and Biel is quite affecting.

It actually pains me that this flick is--ultimately--a bummer. There are some dedicated actors doing some good work here, and in some the one-on-one scenes, they manage to transcend the crappy material. But the writing is too diffuse, and there's too much soap-opera melodrama. Someone actually intelligent should have cut three-quarters of the script--especially the last 10 minutes, when it turns into an episode of "Felched by an Angel"--then carefully shaped what was left

#14#, exp3, rw2, story, cast

With that cast, I had expected so much more. I just never felt like I got to know the characters well enough to understand their actions and to truly get what they are feeling. If it weren't for Jessica Biel stripping, Powder Blue would quickly be forgotten.

Jessica Biel was very good and also super hot. Ray Liotta was mostly vacant. Forest Whitaker, Lisa Kudrow and Sanaa Lathan were unconvincing. Alejandro Romero was surprisingly good. Eddie Redmayne didn't seem like a great choice opposite Jessica Biel but he acted well and it worked. Patrick Swayze played a very strange character. Ravi Patel was annoying. This movie was a weird mix of good, strange and really bad. Jessica Biel saves the movie with excellent acting and awesome erotic dancing.

werewolf! damn, what a beautiful scene!

when the soundtrack isn't overdoing it (and I mean really overdoing it, as in...killing the mood...) or just totally misses the tone of the scene, it can be quite enjoyable. :D it's a nice, but unfortunately also flawed, movie. especially towards the end.

What a wholly depressing and rather uncomfortable movie.

You might like this if you like Requiem for a Dream, but I felt both of these sucked!

Magnolia meets Crash meets Three Colors: Blue meets I don't give a f*.

To be sure, the film is an absolute turd; however, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am a pig, and I can't really hate on Linh Bui when it was he who brought us a nude Jessica Biel on screen. Which was, of course, spectacular.

I saw it for one thing, and that thing is all it has going for it.

beautiful, depressing, warm, cold, sweet, chilling, sensual, real.

Good film.

Jessica Biel pole-dancing vessel. The actors do well, but it isn't enough to save a weak screenplay that fails to grab you at any point. It is not horrible but still avoidable.

Okay Movie
