Review:
WARNING! This movie is definitely not for you if you suffer from chronic vertigo or become dizzy easily. The film makers did a fairly good job achieving the "vantage point" effect by showing "the big event" in the plot by rolling back to the same point in time for every critical character in the story. Other than fulfilling the title of the movie it added little more to make it exciting and enjoyable.
Spoiler
In fact, had I known this movie was about Jihad mother-cluckers and terrorism I would have not watched this movie!! I'm tired of the War, the subject of war, and any attempt to rationalize or show sympathy for those Jihad mother-cluckers involved in terrorism.
One aspect of the film that I found very confusing was the fact that two of the terrorists had the same hair cut and looked so similar. Made it harder to keep them straight.
The Cast: Siguorney Weaver - was good for the few minutes she had in the movie and deserved a much bigger role! Dennis Quade - uneffective; he's no Clint Eastwood! William Hurt - um, was he in this movie really? LOL Liked him better in History Of Violence. Forest Whitaker - now that I've forgiven him for his role in The Crying Game, he can bring to life any role, even in this "3 Kisses" movie!
This movie will not be on my "Must Buy" list nor will I jump at the chance to watch it again any time soon.
