Review of 2:22

2:22 (2008)
10/10
Caught this movie in Cannes
10 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie has it all & then some...Adultery, action, shoot-outs, screwed up families, a suicidal old man, a kinky soap star, humor, drugs, betrayal, murder and much more...all centered around a carefully constructed heist or at least thats what we're led to believe in this noir crime thriller called 2:22. All the cast do a great job with standout performances from Mick Rossi and Robert Miano; And the wonderfully weird character of a "Fence" as played by Val Kilmer. Also (SPOILER ALERT) a surprise cameo from actor Gabriel Byrne as a "Been there, seen it" veteran detective. I loved the overall look of 2:22, the winter backdrop was very effective and it's shot beautifully. The music rocks. I want the soundtrack. I caught this movie on my last night in Cannes, it nearly made me miss my train, but I didn't care, it was so worth it.
