Review of Amos & Andrew (1993) by Sam M — 06 Dec 2013
Dumb cops and the odd well-timed gag make for moments of joy in E. Max Frye's black-white buddy picture. But, for the most part, Amos & Andrew is arguably one of the most charmless movies ever to emerge from the genre.
The script wallows in its own uncertainty of pace, small-town racism and Stockholm syndrome are brushed off as quickly as they're touched upon and, in all, the film fails to deliver as either drama or comedy.
However, for all its flaws and excruciating blandness, Amos & Andrew remains worth watching purely to see Jackson and Cage share the big screen. Well, the best bits deserve a YouTube search, at least.
