L.I.E.

L.I.E. (2001) - May 17, 2004
Brian Cox is excellent in this otherwise forgettable film. The first half, which focuses almost entirely on the disturbingly homoerotic relationship between the main character and his friend, is useless and goes nowhere. In fact the stuff with Brian Cox is probably just as useless, but remains entertaining just because of his performance. Brian Cox is still likeable even as a gross pedophile, which leads me to believe that he is incapable of giving an unlikable performance. This movie certainly solidifies his status as one of my favourite actors. Not much else to say, really. Brian Cox = thumbs up. Everything else in this movie = meh. **1/2
