Review of Cold Souls (2009) by Walter C — 14 Oct 2009
In this sci-fi film, a person can remove his soul from his body so that he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. Paul Giamatti playing himself decides to try it out so he can bare working on the play Uncle Vanya.
Odds are if you're watching this you'll be comparing it to 'Being John Malkovich.' Paul Giamatti does a great job acting in this one and the premise is interesting for about forty minutes and then they don't do anything with it. The second half of the movie where Giamatti is trying to find his soul that's been sold on the black market in Russia was dull to watch and it felt like the director didn't know what to focus on.
Anyway, Giamatti does a good job acting and there is some quirky humor that some people will find funny. A good but flawed movie.
