Review of Twilight

Twilight (1998)
4/10
Great cast wasted in inept mystery
26 October 2002
Gene Hackman, Paul Newman, James Garner, and John Spencer. Not to mention Susan Sarandon. I would have been in heaven watching these five sit around talking about the weather. And it would have been more interesting. The script does not hold up -- at all. The dialogue is wretchedly hackneyed, and the plot holes are huge enough for Godzilla to fall through. The pacing is dreadfully slow, and the photography does a very poor job of trying to emulate film noir. The ending did not work for me either, but by that time, I was just happy to see it end, and there are very few Paul Newman films I ever felt that way about.
