Jeff Bridges (right) stars with Tommy Lee Jones in “Blown
Away.”
Movie doesn’t meet
its pre-opening hype
“Blown Away”
icic
“Blown Away" sure looked sas
pcnscful and cool in the commercials,
but so did the opening of A1 Capone’s
vault.
As a character study and drama,
“Blown Away” could have done rath
er well considering the starpower in
volved (JefT Bridges, Tommy Lee
Jones, Lloyd Bridges and Forest
Whitaker), but the movie gets lost in a
storyline that tries to be both sus
penseful and dramatic at the same
time.
Unfortunately,between the indeci
si vencss that director Stephen Hopk i ns
(“Judgment Night”) had with what
direction to take “Blown Away,” and
the sometimes-heavy I rish accents that
abound throughout the film, it ends up
being quite the mish-mash of crud.
JefT Bridges, one of Hollywood's
most underrated actors, turns in a line
performance as Jimmy Dove, a man
with bags and bags pf guilt hanging
over his head because of a terrorist
bombing that he was a part ol belore
he left Ireland. He has since come to
America, made a new identity for
himself, and is one of the best bomb
squad members on the entire force.
Unfortunately, Dove’s past comes
back to haunt him when his former
comrade Ryan Gacrily (Tommy Lee
Jones) escapes from prison. He can
“make bombs out of Bisquick,” and
comes to America to make Dove payJ
for his lengthy incarceration, even i f it
means killing Dove’s wife (Su/.y
Amis), his mentor Max (Bridges Sr.),
or his brash new partner on the bomb
squad (Whitaker).
The film is loo hit-and-miss in
either the adrenaline category or the
drama category to recommend it; it
tries to do loo much.
The gem of this movie is Tommy
Lee Jones. The entire audience knows
that his character is insane,demented,
and just isn’t a very nice person. How
ever, he is positively hypnotic when
ever he is on the screen, whether he is
making a bomb with a coffee-maker
or dancing to the tunes of U2. Jones is
also apparently attempting to set a
record for the number of film appear
ances in a one-year period of lime.
“The Client’’ will be opening up be
fore the month is out, with “Cobb” and
"Natural Bom Killers’’ following close
behind.
For “Blown Away,” wait for the
video or the cheap scats.
