2.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, over the top, risible and light road movie, February 24, 2010

This review is from: Trouble Bound (DVD)

Trouble Bound (1993) scores points for entertainment value and a

convincing dream-like quality to the story from a litany of

implausible situations and risible events.

It also has a hip and joyful soundtrack from start to finish,

resminicent of numbers from Johnny Guitar Watson or Guitar Slim,

other mini-moog and Miles Davis Quintet numbers, etc.

This is a road movie, comprising various elements, ranging from

texas hold'em poker games, provocative strippers, bar fist fights,

a beating victim in the trunk needing to be disposed of, and a

treasure hunt for a high roller's stash of cash, in between mob

gang rivalry.

The picture is also a comedy of sorts, not shy in actively urging

viewers see the lighter side of various absurd yet lethal

confrontations, some with gunplay, or concerning the rapport

between Michael Madsen's character, (a decent card player), and

Patricia Arquette chatterbox, 18 year old character, somehow

showing a juvenile set of mind, reminiscent in some ways to Kate

Winslet.

Billy Bob Thornton and Seymour Cassel add texture to the story, and

more credibility.

The humor does well, often from over the top situations, such as

the meeting held between Arquette and her grandma - the appearance

almost a parody of the original Godfather movie from its

suddenness or clear-break at a mansion estate in the context of

the action. Another example is the exaggerated profanity which is

risible, especially in the gangland climax of the movie, and taken

in context with a large number of comical earlier moments.

This movie could have been improved with a wide-screen, but it

isn't the case as it seems designed for the high school crowd based

on the dialog, although the story is more mature than that,

centering on the underworld, gambling, showgirls, the mob, etc.

In sum, this is an obviously entertaining Hollywood and TV style

movie, underlining an imaginary world, comical, relaxed and

appealing to the child in every man and woman. Worth seeing.
