The Act (1983)
4/10
Pretty big mess of a movie
5 June 2020
This film has been advertised as a comedy, thriller. News Flash, nothing comedic, or thrilling in this movie, except maybe the couple having sex in the closet. The convoluted plot moves all over the place with very slow pacing, poor lighting, acting, dreadful. The caper aspect is not masterfully crafted, nor is it intriguing in any way. Eddie Albert has some amusing lines from time to time but other than that it is just mishmash. The songs are by John Sebastian of the "Lovin' Spoonful" and are just thrown in to any section of the film as filler. The plot generally involves union leaders, presidents, criminals, prostitutes,corruption and a bad acting troop, If you like bad independent cinema from the 1980's give it a look, otherwise avoid this turkey. I vote this film should be a contender on the new MST3K, or Riff-tracks.
