The film, as well as the character interactions, was absolutely ludicrous, and not in the good way. What’s this about a prostitute in the film? Oh right, I forgot that the depths of drama and creativity for this movie’s creators reside there. ”Double take” should be called ”Misplaced quotations” because the suspense of watching it with placid emotions was as good as the director’s view of the plot.
We start off with Freddy Tiffany, who is hustling Orlando Jones rather aggressively. At the risk of sounding careless, does Orlando Jones ever take part in the hpls that us in? Because he is in for a wild ride! Freddy may not be an ideal american name, but neither is an ideal usain bolt fumble, is it? All jokes and resentment aside, it’s quite unluckily genuine in portraying the world of money and criminals. And to make it worse, the screnwriter decided it was wise to practically remove the character of Freddy from the film in order to make all of his lifelong dreams come true.
Who may this be? It appears as though he is able to appear from thin air and know Daryl’s covert intentions, glimmers out of nowhere, only to mock Daryl using a comical narrative, which seems rehashed from the 1970s black exploitation films. The Rage movie seems to be recognized from a back dated timeline since it caters to certain characters behaving in a demeaning way, and on seeing a computer screen, it was a surprise: The timeline of the film feels more as if it was set in the pre desktop era rather than before aesthetics.
During the events, Freddy makes a fool out of Daryl when he decides to participate in a fashion show. He pushes the models out of the way in the process. Simultaneously, Daryl suddenly finds himself attacked by some unknown forces for reasons that simply make no sense to him. Even more surprising is the fact that Freddy happens to be on his side. That annoying little sprite is indeed a lifesaver, in one epic episode at the train station when he changes clothes with him. Following this bizarre scene you have two men in a train’s dining car headed for Mexico. As expected, wardrobe changes also lead to some personality changes; Freddy now orders from the menu with an accent of a snobbish gourmet, while at that moment Daryl easily turns into a ghetto caricature and demands Schlitz Malt liquor from the waiter, which embarrasses him.
“I don’t think I’ve ever grated my cheese over a cop’s head.” Wardrobes, identities, motivations, and rationales are exchanged in a whirl of stretching “surprises”, until we have learned that the protagonist is not the only one. And, equally as disappointing, is all the other people and events. It’s not that, for example, we await good sense from the catalyst of these events. Which is expected in this type of movie. It’s that, when the double-reverse twist has started we want it to be at least funny or entertaining. Or any other feelings apart from being gloomy and random and vexing.
The movie was directed by George Gallo, who also wrote the far more entertaining ‘Midnight Run’ and here once again has fancied the concept of the great guy along with the irritating one sharing a long drive. One of his complications is with Eddie Griffin. Here is a figure who, correctly, is an actor that is fast moving, fast verbal, and could, without a doubt, deliver quite good acting gigs, but the Freddy Tiffany is grating beyond belief. You know you’re in trouble when you shrink every time a flick’s live wire comes on. I understood there was absolutely no hope for the film because the plot and the characters have pushed me too far beyond the point of no return. If an audience is going to be entertained by a film, first they must find it tolerable.
