Life and tragedy of Bob Crane magnificently interpreted by Greg Kinnear
8 July 2005
The film deals about Bob Crane(Kinnear), he's happily married (to Rita Wilson), he's posteriorly divorced and will meet various women(Maria Bello and others) in a troublesome activity. He obtained a lot of success with ¨Hogan's heroes¨ television series. His easy life falls apart as he becomes literally addicted to sex. The picture narrates the relationship with John Carpenter(Willem Dafoe)a video technician who would open him a new life style continuing a spiral of failures and sex towards the downfall . It's based on real deeds about the authentic existence and death of Bob Crane.

At the flick there are comedy,drama,love,humor,sex,tongue in cheek and a little bit of violence. Runtime movie is adjusted ,the run is approximately two hours . However is almost tiring but happen numerous scabrous and disagreeable events. This interesting story is basically a drama of one man's ruination. The picture is classified ¨R¨ because of crude and harsh scenes,sex,nudism, besides of a violent and cruel murder. The film attained limited box office and was a flop but the issues narrated are embarrassing and unpleasant for the great public. The motion picture is a slightly slow moving and for that reason is a bit boring , furthermore is mainly developed on interior scenarios. Greg Kinnear interpretation is excellent, he's sympathetic,memorable,comic, but also greedy and vulnerable. Willem Dafoe is very fine and Maria Bello is enjoyable and attractive. The soundtrack is well composed and conducted by Angel Badalamenti(Twin Peaks) and Fred Murphy cinematography is nice. This well-told movie is rightly directed by Paul Schrader. Rating: Good but with disagreeable moments.
