Lost Junction

Lots of twists and turns. Just when I thought I knew how it would end, it zigzagged off in another direction. Neve Campbell played a tragic but quirky heroine. Even without the excellent work by the other actors, Neve made the whole movie worthwhile.

Certainly not the best movie on the planet by any means. But I love Billy Burke and anything he does, so That is my reason for purchase.

The synopsis and DVD cover make this movie look dark and almost scary. But it's not. It's an odd love story. Perhaps I should say, quirky or unusual love story. Even kind of sweet. Neve Campbell gives a performance I never thought possible. And Billy Burke (Twilight, Revolution, The Closer) is charming in an offbeat way.Originally I bought this just because Billy Burke was in it but I really really like it. It's going to be on permanent rotation in my DVD collection.

This movie start's out with a twist and it stays there until the end. Ifyou like Neve Campbell this is your movie, she is at her best. She playsa woman of mystery on a mission. Not great, but a good movie.

Right when you thought when the movie was going to end and leave you wondering what happened to Missy and Jimmy, it went on to an interesting ending.

Good movie

The opening shot of this pleasing film is enhanced by buoyant scoring from Normand Corbeil, and this reveals to viewers that the work that they are about to see is not meant to be noirish in nature, but instead, in an actor's scenario such as this, a general tincture of incongruity is to be established from the outset. Director Peter Masterson, with assistance from lead Neve Campbell, ensures that this is accomplished, while her co-lead Billy Burke consistently provides a foil for Campbell, both being aided by a well-crafted script credited to Jeff Cole, who also produces here. Drifter Jimmy McGee (Burke) is stranded with his broken-down automobile along a back road in an unidentified state in the American South when he is fortunately given a ride from Missy Lofton (Campbell), driving her vintage convertible, but he soon learns that Missy has more than altruism behind her offer of a lift, because she takes McGee with her to her bank in the small town of Lost Junction whereupon she withdraws her entire savings of over $320,000, after which she shows Jimmy the contents of her car's trunk: her dead husband. This all proves to be a bagful with which bewildered Jimmy must deal, and he decides to set off, by foot this time, along the same country road upon which Missy had found him, but she has other ideas and will not permit him to go his own way, Jimmy therefore discovering that he is tied to a woman whose sinister background is more startling than he could have expected, and the two of them, in addition to all other main characters from the screenplay, dovetail to a climactic meeting back in Lost Junction. The film's storyline unfolds in an interesting manner, and solid performances are turned in by the cast, with Campbell's reading being particularly effective, and director Masterson paces his scenes correctly, permitting the narrative's admittedly bizarre events to develop within a well-detailed and naturalistic framework. The editing of Peter Frank and cinematography by Thomas Burstyn, the latter utilizing beautiful Quebec locations, are invaluable, with all shooting occurring during daylight hours for this film that, largely as a result, becomes a whimsical character study that emphasizes its elements of mystery and romance, thereupon further negating any possible connection to the Noir genre.

Unless you are a massive fan of the two losers that star in this you will hate it. The girl is moderately familiar (and not pretty) and the guy I have never heard of. Dumber than dumb and a major snooze fest. I'd say the total budget for this film was about $100,000. I just let it play in the background. Not interesting at all. And the accent, awful. A quick look at the Wikipedia article will give you an idea of the interest level in this piece of crap.

I really enjoyed this movie. I got it because of Billy Burke. You won't know the truth until the end. It keeps you wondering. a love story

Ich hatte mir den Film gekauft, weil ich Neve Campbell sehr gerne mag. Und ich war begeistert! Ein Krimi mit Witz und vor allem ganz viel Herz. Bis zum Ende bleibt es spannend, da man nie genau weiß woran man bei der Figur der Missy ist.Ein großes Plus gebe ich dem Film auch für die Musik. Einfach wunderschön.Alles in allem ist es ein ruhiger, witziger und berührender Film, der vor allem durch seine ausdrucksstarken Dialoge zwischen den Hauptfiguren überzeugt.Wer auch gern mal einen tiefsinnigen Krimi ganz ohne Schießerei und Explosionen ansieht ist hier genau richtig! Und Fans von Neve Campbell werden ihn ebenfalls lieben, das kann ich zumindest von mir behaupten :-)Nur wirklich schade, dass die Dvd keine Extras hat. Aber die 5 Sterne gibts trotzdem!

In dem Film geht es, dass jeder ein Problem hat. Was mehr oder weniger gelöst werden kann. Einer sitzt im Rollstuhl, weil sein Freund ihn von einer Erhöhnung geschuppst hat. Der Freund will einfach nur weg und lernt die Frau im Bunde kennen. Die wollen wir mal sagen nicht das größte aber doch ein großes Problem hat. Ich würde ihn weiter empfehlen, weil man muss ihn sehen um zu verstehen meiner meiung nach.

Took 2 weeks to arrive so it was a bit long but the disc is in new condition so I am pleased with this purchase.

Zum Film:Leider ein sehr schlechter Film, auch wenn Neve Campbell mitmacht. Keine Spannung, Dialoge öde! Lagweilige Story.... Weiss garnicht wo ich noch weiter machen soll!Schaut euch den Trailer einfach an, denn besser oder schlechter wird er nicht.Verpackung sehr gut, Medimop leider sehr teuer mit dem Versand, dafür das es nur 85 cent verschickt wird. Selbst mit Umschlag kommt man nicht auf 3€ .
