Review of Fool for Love (1985) by Greg W — 11 May 2013
This movie is based on a play and it totally feels like one. It almost all takes place at a small hotel. The acting is okay, with Basinger being the best. Shepard seems to be over acting a lot in the beginning and his character is a total jack-hole.
The last twenty minutes does get decent, but the 80-some minutes before that are boring as sin. I fell asleep twice during watching this film.
It's clear Stanton is Basinger's father, but he never acts like it. It's clear Shepard has some past with her, but she also never seems to act like one happened. Quaid apparently is her current lover, but he shows up to the film late and just kind of stands in the background most of the time.
Some crazy woman keeps showing up to fire a gun a few times and then drives away.
And it has one of those horribly annoying right when something big is about to happen, the movie ends leaving nothing explained. I hate those endings.
