Crimetime (1996)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There are many reasons to watch this movie.One is not to appreciate the acting, or plodding direction, but to see how badly a film can date.1996 does not seem that long ago to me, but after seeing this, it feels like 1985, because of the costumes and the sets, it dated the moment it was printed.It's Natural Born Killers light, Baldwin re-enacts Postlethwaites murders on the titular programme, and the more murders there are, the more famous and involved Baldwin becomes.It's an interesting concept, visual media wanting crime to carry on in order to boost ratings, but it's handled so poorly. Sluzier hit the jackpot with 'The Vanishing' but here he seems like he has given up on the whole movie business.Postlethwaite is as reliable as ever, and Baldwin proves again, he is the third most popular in the family business.It's a little overlong, and the ending feels a bit rushed, but there is something unique in the movie and the story trying to get out, which is a shame, because this is a cracking concept.

I liked this movie enough to buy it. I am not sure why other people see it as being such a terrible movie and screenplay.I don't even like Stephen Baldwin, I should say that I am a huge Alec fan, but I thought he pulled this one off in some strange way. Sadie Frost was weak at times, but it wasn't really her sort of role to begin with. She is the reason I give this movie 9 stars instead of 10 stars. Pete P. was awesome as always. The script seemed fine to me. It has holes, but few don't. I am a writer, and have been working on a script of my own. Writing scripts has proved more difficult than writing the novel I have been working on.The movie has its flaws, but few movies are flawless. It was enjoyable, entertaining, and I would recommend it to people who haven't seen it. Just my opinion.

Oh how I like this little, low budget movie. The plot is somehow interesting and something I haven't seen much in any other movie.The serial killer premise mixed with reality t.v. really got me hooked in. Also, the movie somehow deals with some kind of mental illness in the likes of "Memento". So there you go, you have an interesting plot and some really well done scenes of action and mystery.The acting is pretty good. Those British are really good actors. I love the accent. Sadie Frost delivers a sexy, sassy performance. She was tremendously sexy in this movie with all those mini skirts. Sorry, I had to point that. "Crimetime" is an underrated Thriller with some Sci-Fi influences. I dug the Reality T.V. situations because it's a topic way ahead of it's time.Watch "Crimetime" with low expectations and you might enjoy it. I did.

Who is this guy with his totally out of order comments? This movie is the BEST - you understand that word BEST? The screenwriter is absolutely the last word and I should know I AM THAT SCREENWRITER - sure i made a mistake or two but at least i made a movie - which is more than the writer above (or below) has done. You see what I mean? Just watch the film, forget whether its good or bad and wait for that special moment when I APPEAR - actually acting with real words and everything - and I got to keep the tie. But seriously let's have a good look at the film - is it my fault if Stephen Baldwin went all method when he really has none and who wouldn't say Pete Postlethwaite isn't really CREEPY and Sadie Frost, OK, a strange choice perhaps and why wasn't Madonna given the part she wanted it or at least that's what she told me. But enough .....
