3.0 out of 5 stars JASON PATRIC gets away with being overly male !!!, November 30, 2009

Starring: Samantha Morton,Jason Patric .
NOT your typical `love story',But perhaps that makes it more in line to our lives.
Jason Patric (Speed 2) absolutely steals this movie with an performance that is real and thought provoking as too "Alpha Male".
Samantha Morton is a good girl and worth more than what she has been given,And may finally coming into her skin.
This is a romance comedy about parking ticket officers and their prey,Unlawful car parkers.
The "Making Of " is amazing when you see what into this Sundance/Cannes favorite.

Contra other reviewers, this is not really a movie about an Alpha Alpha male. It is rather, a classic portrayal of a male with severe borderline personality disorder. The hostile view of life, the lack of any feelings of empathy fpr anyone including his lover and his son, his utterly defended stance toward the world, and his inner emptiness and fears of abandonment.

Ladies, this is what BPD looks like.. A very realistic portrayal.

Note especially the women these men attract. The rescuers, the helpers, the caretakers. If you see yourself here... Please learn from this and leave early.

Most BPD disorders actually express in women not men. You can see some of the women prototypes by watching Casino, Revolutionary Road, and other flicks.

Man or woman beware... These people are emotional vampires.. They will drain you dry.. They don't mean to.. But their childhood histories were tragic.. As was yours if you are drawn to them.

Beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars a different type of romantic drama, February 1, 2011

This review is from: Expired (DVD)

This is one of those movies that should have been a cult classic with a dedicated following, but for whatever reason it never turned out that way. A shame, says I.

It's about a meter maid who apparently has no emotion whatsoever. Apparently her life (and her job) is so darn boring that she simply learned to go through her predictable daily routine feeling indifferent at every single turn. Indifferent towards people on the street, indifferent towards life itself.

Eventually she meets a guy who's inadvertently hilarious because he's actually a really mean, ignorant and (initially) selfishly close-minded person. Soon however, he really starts falling in love with the girl, and they then develop their own issues pertaining to the relationship.

Actually they both have that one attribute in common- being sheltered.

Samantha Morton nails her performance perfectly. She never gets upset, she never expresses concern during moments you most certainly *think* she will, and she never seems like an all-around normal person. In fact the best way to describe her character would be like this- the fact she has no personality whatsoever almost MAKES her have a personality. Make sense? Considering how abnormal and offbeat she is, yeah, it kinda does.

I think it's somewhat unfair Expired missed the opportunity to gain a fanbase. It really had the potential considering the storytelling has all the right ingredients going for it- a subtlety humorous and dramatized storyline, really interesting characters, and a twist on the whole romantic genre. I really liked it.

Just be warned there's some fairly sexually-related scenes that are most definitely strong and inappropriate for the youngsters. In fact that's another interesting thing about Expired- one minute it's a harmless romance, the next it's not suitable for kids. Keep this in mind.
