The Crying Game

THE CRYING GAME (1992) - March 16, 2004
The first forty minutes or so, with Forest Whitaker as a British soldier captured by the NRA, and Stephen Rea as one of his captors, was excellent. The dialogue was excellent, the performances were excellent, and the whole thing was pretty much riveting. Crackerjack. But then Forest Whitaker gets hit by a car, and there's the whole thing with the relationship between Stephen Rea and the "woman." Which was okay, I guess, but it couldn't really compare to the first part, which was pretty sweet. Oh well. Still a pretty good movie. ***
