Heaven
(Reviewed August 19, 2002)
-
Well-made but kind of slow; it's almost as if "Run Lola Run" director Tom Tykwer has been overcompensating for the frantic pace of that film with both movies he has made since ("The Princess and the Warrior" being the other). Not to give too much away, Italian cop Giovanni Ribisi falls for jailed Cate Blanchett and takes her side against The Man. The entire (very slight) plot could be summarized in a single sentence only slightly longer than that last one, but I don't wanna ruin the thing. Basically, this is a very somber but consistently engrossing film--not the kind of thing that would make a good second-choice if "Spy Kids 2" is sold out, but worth a look if you're in a melancholy-'n'-mellow movie-going mood.
