Review of Flashdance (1983) by John G — 19 Apr 2008
Except for Jennifer Beals dancing and some nice cinematography there is really nothing to recommend in this movie. This is suppose to be an uplifting story but there are so many problems that you don't care. The story itself is hard to swallow, a steelworker who wants to become a dancer. not that it's impossible, everybody had dreams but it just so badly done.
Beals acting left much to be desired and [i]Flashdance[/i] turned out to be the highpoint of her career. A lot of the problems have to do with the screenplay and when you read the credits and see that it was co-written by Joe Eszterhas that in itself explains a lot. Eszterhas has never let logic get in the way of his story.
Rating D.
