Review of Five Corners

Five Corners (1987)
5/10
Acting for acting's sake
15 October 2001
"Five Corners" showcases some good performances by a decent cast and has little else to offer. Crisscrossing subplots are pedestrian and muddle the clockworks of this somewhat quirky noirish drama about a bunch of peculiar people from a neighborhood in the Bronx known as "Five Corners". Obviously scripted, probably because it was written by a playwright, "FC" comes off like a theatrical production as it slowly gathers momentum with a payoff which is insufficient and too late. Okay for those interested in watching actors ply their craft.
