Review of Wild at Heart (1990) by Tom B — 15 May 2016

One of David Lynch's mainstream crime dramas that I never had an interest in seeing back when I was younger. I'm a fan of many of his other movies, but this one didn't do anything for me. The beginning of the film gives the false impression of it being a stylish masterpiece, but then the story takes a nosedive into short interesting scenarios that tend to go nowhere.

For the most part, everything becomes too silly with singing and unnecessary parody performances. To make matters even worse, it all leads up to something very anticlimactic. Nicholas Cage once again at the height of his career, recognized for portraying an impractical character.
