Review of Read My Lips (2001) by Myles H — 09 Jul 2012

Utter gash. I don't often write reviews but sticking through this has ruined my evening. I loved Mesrine and was so looking forward to Vincent playing a larger than life criminal again, but he bumbles through an awkward first hour as an ex con cowtowing to a dull french office life, in a poorly fitting shirt and tie and sporting crappy tash and chops.

The girl starts and remains dull and her character only gets out of second gear for about ten minutes.

Then there's the terrible suspended belief requirement as the lip reading starts and then kinda saves the day. but it's one implausibility upon another for the last 30 minutes.

Honestly watch Mesrine I and II. Avoid this, unless you like watching people from WHSmiths subliminate into a heist fantasy written by a teenager.
