Review of Spread (2009) by Joanna B — 03 Mar 2015

Spread had the potential to be a really great film but turns out to be a disappointing experience. The beginning is great with Kutcher and Heche fouling around and installing an interesting toxic and quite unusual relationship.

Unfortunately the premise gone, the film embarks on shallow water where our hustler boy gets a taste of his own medicine. The film loses it's focus, and a lot o credibility, playing like riches to rag episode.

The fall of our angel is not convincing a minute and Kutcher shows quickly the limits of his acting abilities. David Mackenzie is not better behind the camera. I found his frame dull and empty of any real dialogue.

scenes are piling up without really flowing and thus the film quickly runs empty and limped by a story that fail to convince in any ways. I would salute the effort to try to do something a little different and the ending saves the film from being a total dud but unfortunately it's not a good film, enjoyable, yes, fun, sometimes, but definitely forgettable.
