Review of The Bronze (2016) by Mmh35 — 02 Dec 2016
Caught The Bronze on STARZ and had a mixed reaction to it. The movie felt like there was an actual real story in there somewhere; but it got lost from too many wanna be over the top funny moments that ended up feeling like it was too much.
It's a somewhat decent first screenwriting effort from Melissa Rauch and her husband. Acting wise there isn't a bad performance in the cast. Rauch makes Hope a love to hate character with some actual funny and touching moments in there.
Her and Thomas Middleditch are charming together; and you gotta feel for his character Ben "Twitchy", who is a sweetheart. It's hard to not think that he deserves better, until Hope starts working on redemption.
Haley Lu Richardson is adorable as Maggie; and Gary Cole is a scene stealer as Hope's father. The biggest movie letdown is that Sebastian Stan is not given that much to do. This movie came out after the first two Captain America movies.
Yet a little movie like this can't give The Winter Soldier actor something to really do. If it weren't for the gymnastics sex scene, then this movie would be a waste of time for his fans. On a grade scale I give this movie a C.
Would I watch it again? Yes, because it is a guilty pleasure. It's not anything more then that though.
