Review of Solitary Man (2009) by Gregory W — 07 Sep 2010
Cast: Michael Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, Mary-Louise Parker, Jenna Fischer, Imogen Poots, Jesse Eisenberg, Richard Schiff, Jake Richard Siciliano, David Costabile, Anastasia Griffith, Arthur J. Nascarella.
Director: Brian Koppelman, David Levien.
Summary: Michael Douglas stars as a former car dealership owner who sees his personal and professional lives take a nosedive when the repercussions of years of shady business dealings and chronic womanizing finally catch up with him.
My Thoughts: "This is a film your either going to love, hate, or be somewhere in the middle of that. I fall in the middle. Michael Douglas is great in this, there is a great list of supporting actors throughout this film as well. The only problem is that the film (although it is better then most of the one's I have seen) has been made plenty of times already. Not only that, but Michael Douglas has already been there and done that when it comes to this type of character. So the acting was great, but the plot is a rerun of many that have come before it. It also was a bit of a bore. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this type of film. But do see this if not for the story-line, then definitely for the performances. They all gave great performances in this film.".
