Review of Catch.44 (2011) by Dann M — 22 Jun 2012

Filmed in a noir style, Catch .44 is a gritty crime drama. Using nonlinear storytelling, the film follows a drug heist that goes wrong and how each character arrived at the heist. Starring Malin Akerman, Nikki Reed, Forest Whitaker, and Bruce Willis, the film has some solid talent.

The story is rather interesting and has a number of twists and reveals that add to the suspense and mystery. Still, some aspects of the film don't work; the dialog in particular is weak and uneven.

While there are some significant flaws, Catch .44 delivers exciting action and an intriguing story.
