5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Paced, Well acted, Super movie., January 17, 2004

By	Chris Johnys "CJ." (Welwyn Garden City, Herts, UK.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don't Look Back [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't Look Back is an excellent movie. Eric Stoltz gives a very convincing performance as Jesse, a failed musician with a big smack habit. As the film unfolds, it is impossible not to sympathize with his plight. After stealing a large sum of money - the proceeds of a failed drug deal - he heads back to his home town, Galveston, Texas. He is embraced back into his circle of childhood friends and visits his rather grumpy grandad. Little does he know that the owner of the money, gang leader Marshall (a corpulent Billy Bob Thornton) is hot on his trail.

I first saw this film when I was recovering from heroin addiction myself, so the scene where Jesse's friends take him for a holiday in the woods to detox was particularly moving for me and, I think, realistically portrayed.

The film features a lot of fairly explicit violence and is not for kids. Stoltz and Thornton both act their socks off and are totally convicing. The supporting cast are excellent too.

Buy this movie and I promise you will not regret it. Maybe not an all-time classic but a film you will remember and want to see again in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars The story work and executive producing were awesome!, August 4, 2002

By	Guess Who (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don't Look Back [VHS] (VHS Tape)

...Gripping... ...An emotional roller coaster... ...Billy Bob Thornton gives a tour de force performance... ...Dwight Yoakam thrills and delights... ...A twist ending that will blow you through the back wall of your living room... ...Whoever both executive produced and wrote the story for this baby knew what he was doing... ...I'll bet he had at least one other project sold and one other project optioned...
