5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for John Simm!, July 17, 2004
By VictoriousDust (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miranda (DVD)
More John Simm! Please, John, make more movies, and not just BBC tv.
Simm's character, Frank, has got to be the sweetest boy-man in cinema. Christina Ricci is wonderful playing a character that is all hard-edge. Frank is the perfect foil to melt her like butter, if she will let him. Frank is nerdy, but cute and sensitive-- adoring and adorable. As John Hurt says in the bts, it's an idealistic love affair, but Ricci & Simm are thoroughly enjoyable together. And MacLachlan and Hurt are typically perfect in supporting roles. The plot is exaggerated, but it's pure escapist fun. For a B-movie, it is a gem of a find, thanks to Simm.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing exciting at all..., October 20, 2005
This review is from: Miranda (DVD)
I am probably the biggest Ricci fan you'll ever meet, but even that couldn't get me interested in this film. I bought it but ended up giving it away. The storyline was a-typical, nothing great at all. Sometimes I honestly forgot this was Ricci in the movie, because I kept losing interest. But nonetheless, she was the only good thing about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Grifters" Lite, July 8, 2003
By D. Hartley (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Miranda (DVD)
I'm going to go out on a limb here and call this a "likeable little noir". Reminiscent of several recent Brit Noirs ("The Criminal", "B. Monkey") that feature an everday ho-hum 'bloke' hooking up with an impossibly beautiful and sexy woman who soon sends him hurtling into a world of danger and intrigue, "Miranda"'s nebbishy protaganist takes the shape of Frank the librarian (John Simm). When an alluring yet enigmatic American woman (Christini Ricci) "randomly" strolls into his library, the daydreaming Frank fantasizes that his life is about to change-and precedes to learn where the proverb "Be careful what you wish for" came from! After you've pushed aside all the ensuing plot twists and dark crime thriller elements, you actually have a rather engaging romantic comedy at the film's core. Ricci just keeps getting better and better, and John Hurt is excellent as Miranda's shadowy "mastermind"/ mentor. Kyle MacLachlan deserves honorable mention for a dark comic turn as a sleazy, corrupt businessman (are there any other kind?) who lives for the day that Miranda concedes to dominate and "punish" him (perhaps a sly reference to his "love" scenes with Isabella Rossilini in "Blue Velvet"?). A must-see for Noir and/or Ricci fans.
