Good Drama

The Soloist was a good movie, but had some flaws within it.

I loved the story for The Soloist. The way the story developed was fine, but at times rather slow. Parts of the movie didn't seem to fit well with the story. Bits and pieces of film didn't make since with the story, and only distracted from the story.

The thing I loved most in the movie was the characters, especially Robert Downey Jr.'s. There was something that happened when the characters were on screen that made me love them. The way the characters interacted on screen was great, but at times boring. I loved the characters, but sometimes I felt they were over-dramatic and acted out of character in some places during the film.

The Soloist was a great movie if you're looking for something with a lot of drama and a littl...

Jamie Fox's Best Film

Pretty good movie. I really liked Jamie Fox's performance. The way the script was written it made the viewers have sympathy for the homless man which was good. Some parts were good others were bad, like the light show during the middle of the film. I ahted that part. But overall I loved this film.

Something was missing . . .

All the parts (acting, story, script) of this movie were good yet some how the sum of the parts was less good then the individual pieces. Some how it just didn't quite work. The movie got kind of garbled for me and didn't seem like one cohesive vision. The acting was good, the depiction of schizophrenia was good, the story was good, but some how the movie was kind of boring . . .

Are You Flying That Plane?

Okay, I'm a huge fan of cellos, Robert Downey Jr., and Catherine Keener, but this movie left a bad taste in my mouth. However, after watching the movie for the second time, I found that I adored Jamie Foxx's talents as well as the way that this was written. Word salads, musically imagining color, and all that jazz...its awesome. A must see.
