Review of The Man from Elysian Fields (2001) by J D — 27 Dec 2007
I was pleasantly surprised by this one, especially by Mick Jagger as Luther Fox, the head of the Elysian Fields escort service. It actually starts out a bit like a '50's noir; for some reason I thought that's when it was set at the beginning until we see Andy Garcia clacking away at a PC.
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. It's an interesting story, and everyone turns in great performances. Andy Garcia has never been an actor that stands out to me, I wouldn't go out of my way to see a movie that he's in, but he does strong work here.
Emotionally complex drama, with a few good twists. Good stuff.
