Review of Infamous (2006) by Arlene G — 25 Feb 2007

Here comes the most unnecessary picture of the year. I mean if they had to do another movie about Truman Capote they could have at least chose another part of his life to show it to the viewers not dealing with the same story that was presented in the previous year in the much better movie Capote.

The movie starts really slow and we just see Truman being mistaken for a lady , which gets kinda annoying and boring with time, and then trying to get along with the people of this small time which doesn't work until a long time in the movie.

So the first problem the movie suffered from was the extended introduction that didn't have any meaning. And then we just see a lighter copy of the movie Capote where Truamn starts to get along with the killers and we see flashbacks of the murder and all that stuff which is really a shame.

You just keep on thinking: Why did theyt make this movie?!?!?!?!?! As for the performances, I was really looking forward to see what Toby Jones has to offer coz he looked brilliant in the trailer but the only thing he focused on during the whole movie was acting gay and over doing his sissy nature which was another shame.

I mean ok he needs to act feminin too look like Truman but not in that way. His walk was sooo retarded. So here's another point where Capote out-matched this one. But the only good thing was that Jones looked more like Truman then Hoffman.

Gwyneth Paltrow was a huge disaster in her small appearence and she made a fool out of herself. And Sandra Bullock was just ok.
