Review of Flawless (2007) by Paul Z — 17 Sep 2012

One of Hollywood's most idiosyncratic money-spinners, Joel Schumacher pairs two of our very most compelling actors in that timeless Odd Couple formula to show that even the most incompatible strangers can cultivate each other's humanity, and together they build a personal connection to face their uncertain futures.

And both powerhouse stars have great physical gimmicks to play off of in their characters! Though Schumacher also disrupts his intriguing premise with tacked-on and overworked plot engines it didn't need to tell such a humanistic story, although the movie's overcrowdedness gives it full emotional and tonal flavor and paints a whole world and ensemble in a New York tenement world straight out of the movies.
