Review of Thelma & Louise (1991) by Adrian B — 27 Feb 2013

The title gals (Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon) head on a road trip in Arkansas, both of whom want to get away from the men of their life. Their plans, however, significantly change when they murder a man who tries to rape Thelma after she picks him up at a bar.

Now, they are on the run and intend to escape the authorities by travelling to Mexico, but not via Texas. Entertaining road trip movie that is both amusing and entertaining. Brad Pitt's small performance of as thief J.

D. is memorable, and Harvey Kietel's sympathetic performance as an FBI agent shows that he is an understated actor. One small problem I had with this film is when it took place, because I initially thought it was way before the 1990's at times, but it was definitely taking place in present times.

The ending is also a bit disappointing (and memorable in the way a "Simpsons" episode taunted it in 1994, but otherwise, the exuberance and fun of this picture towers all faults.
