Review of Mickey One (1965) by Laird J — 12 Jun 2008
An interesting, highly flawed effort. A pretty typical "guy on the lam from the mob because of a debt" story is infused with existentialism and arthouse pretensions that were in vogue at the time.
Not that that's what's bad about this movie. It just feels a bit more forced than something more loose and freewheeling from America like "Hi, Mom!" Warren Beatty's performance is a bit stiff, but there's some interesting photography and great humor to be found in the mess.
