Say Nothing

Rating:
Summary: I give it 3 stars, all for Nastassja Kinski. Period.
Review: Let me start by saying that, at some point while watching Nastassja Kinski in this movie, I thought of Diane Lane. They're both stunningly beautiful, they both became celebrities at their young age, then they went through all kinds of ups and downs in their careers... Yet one appears to be luckier than the other...

....That being said, I honestly didn't expect a lot from this movie when I rented it, much less be fooled by its tagline "Think Fatal Attraction... in reverse." I didn't really care if William Baldwin acted well as a sweet stalker, or how Hart Bochner portrayed the character of a betrayed husband... Oh well, I had decided to be lenient with all the flaws of "Say Nothing" just to savour Nastassja's beauty (yes, she's still very attractive...and although I thought her ... body was somehow sexier in "Cold Heart", I felt compensated to enjoy the scene that featured her own famous poster -- remember, the one in which she posed with a python wrapped around her?. It's so nostalgic to me...) So here comes the bottom line: If you once loved Nastassja or still adore her, go watch her in "Say Nothing". The movie might let you down. She will not.

Summary: DEADLY SILENCE
Review: The ever lovely Nastassja Kinski is the foundation for this derivative thriller, short on thrills, long on windy conversations. But Kinski puts her all into it, and makes this "Fatal Attraction" in reverse entertaining. William Baldwin, looking more like Alec every day, plays a powerful executive who tricks Kinski into a one night stand while she is off an a vacation. Her husband (played by the sturdy Hart Bochner) is going through a funk due to the loss of his job and he has started drinking. When Kinski returns home, she finds out that Baldwin was a little more than just a one night stand. The movie meanders on with Kinski having various things happen to her due to Baldwin's influence, and the ending culminates in a showdown. Baldwin's fate however is disappointing considering what he did.
Reminiscent of late night cable movies, SAY NOTHING offers nothing new, but Kinski shines again.

Summary: What do you expect from a B flick?
Review: Usually not much. Don't get me wrong, this one is another unabashed late-night cable skin flick, I make no excuses for it.
Horrible editing, lack of continuity in scene transitions, and the worse Hollywood mistake I've seen to date: A scene in the Miami hotel, (Kinski in a red dress) where the lighting is so bad, you can see every last mark on her face, and she looks 20 years older than she is...
OK.. Given all that: Some of the music is lush and powerful. I'm actually looking for the soundtrack (right, like there is one). Also, consider this: Why do some of us watch B flicks? Because that's where you usually find some of the more interesting plots and premises. Screenplays that are too cerebral for mass-market appeal, with some cool one-liners that quote existential philosophers... stuff like that.
Movies made by insomniacs for insomniacs...
Like the previous reviewer hinted, I'll say bluntly: Kinski naked, is the reason for making this movie and for watching it as well. For this kind of thing, but way higher budget, may I recommend (if ya ain't seen it yet) Sliver?
