Review of Chances Are (1989) by Rwncop — 24 Nov 2020
"All he wants is your money, you're wrong he wants my body".
Out of all the romantic films I've seen, I've never seen something so weird, I was dead in the first ten minutes. I can't really explain it without spoiling so I guess you need to see this to understand why this might be my Halloween 2021 film.
Looking away from the story, I thought the acting carried the film. Robert Downey Jr played a good role, I think this may have been his first big film taking the lead.
Technically the film wasn't nothing special. A lot of the editing was very meh, it's like it was trying to break the laws of the cut (however I don't think this was the editors fault). Cinematography was interesting with some nice shots, but at the same time there were shots that were probably used in the edit because there was nothing better to use. With the few songs the film used, I'd say it was a suitable selection, but I think "Never Gonna Give You Up" should have been included.
