Review of Tomorrow You're Gone

This film is driven by many things, but certainly not by plot. This is clearly intentional. The title itself is a spoiler. This movie is another one of those "The Guy" and "The Girl" movies, but it works, more or less. The girl is Flo, and the guy is Sam/Charlie, and that's about as much as we ever know about them, assuming even those names are real. I have never seen a sexy woman throw herself at a man so extremely to no effect. I found myself yelling out loud several times, "Just do it with her!" (I am married, and my wife was watching too, and I don't eat hot pockets nor live in Mom's basement.) This was very frustrating, and that alone made this movie unique. Charlie was very, very brooding and that most sexy thing of all, vulnerable, and Flo moves in on him with the intensity of a cruise missile. They hook up, and when she's not trying to have kinky sex with him, often involving her feet, she does this "Hannibal Lector" thing on him from out of The Silence of the Lambs. She's in his head, she gets vague responses from her bizarre psychoanalytical probes, and then tries to get it on with him, repeatedly. Charlie is so tormented that he doesn't even notice her sexually. This is a redemption movie, and yes, as in many movies of this type, "The Guy" dies at the end, although I found the ending to be the aspect of the move that made the most sense. There are other things in the mix, including a bare-bones plot that was actually irrelevant.I liked this movie and as others have said, it's not for everyone. It's a psychological non-thriller, so to speak. The interplay between Flo and Charlie is, in it's slow paced, quirky way, quite intense. Much of the dialogue is of the New Age variety, both from The Buddha, Charlie's criminal mentor, and Flo herself. It's all pretty obscure. So, I hope I've helped you decide on this movie. I could condense my review to be: "WTF? But I liked it." This movie is why we use Redbox religiously.
