    American Beauty

    ★★½

    Hmm… a hard one for me to digest. I’m shocked after watching that this was a major movie of the late 90s. Clearly well-made and shot, well-acted. The content just didn’t interest me at all. 

    Imagine Donnie Darko with the supernatural elements and teenage gothic mystique removed. Just a slick depiction of suburban normalcy. In this humble critic’s opinion.

    A great legal drama/mystery. Young Ed Norton acting his balls off. Richard Gere is sauve as hell and ultra believable. 90s dramas are all I want to watch.

    A unique take on a superhero movie, really cool visual style and tone. I liked how mystery-driven it was too. Didn’t expect to ever care about a Batman movie again but if this director makes another I’ll definitely see it.

    Tough call on rating here. In my normal critical mode I would give it a 3.5, docking it a bit for classic 90s movie meathead action. But the thriller crime plot is strong, and it was overall very well done. If you can appreciate Harrison Ford being a super human as a retro novelty, it’s quite solid.
