Waiting. For this is exactly the sort of picture Hollywood should be - and, increasingly, isn’t - making. After a drug buy goes bad, Ray(Thornton)and Pluto(Michael Beach)with pretty Fantasia(Cynda Williams)in tow head from California to Star City, Arkansas.
One false move movie#
It says much about the current state of American cinema that a movie as good as One False Move almost didn’t get released. Nebraskan suspense author Kava takes a break from her successful series. Directed by Carl Franklin, a former actor who was a semiregular on The A-Team, this shrewdly entertaining genre picture was financed independently and is now enjoying a city-by-city release - thanks, in large part, to critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, whose early support helped rescue it from the jaws of video oblivion. Mira, 19.95 (320pp) ISBN 978-0-7783-2071-5. The irony is that One False Move wasn’t made within the commercial film industry. One False Move, a sardonic and explosive crooks-on-the-lam saga in the tradition of Bonnie and Clyde, has the meat-and-potatoes virtues - wit, atmosphere, and suspense violence that shocks as well as thrills a narrative that glides along the knife edge of its characters’ passions - that have just about disappeared from our movie screens during this summer of skittery, brightly packaged blockbusters.
