Leave your thoughts about Durant's Never Closes.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNot that it's a bad film, it just needed to be cooked a little more. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeDurant's Never Closes is unlikely to be a breakthrough film, but where Durant is remembered as a local force to be reckoned with, it will have strong audience appeal. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperRather than having a plot, the film takes the form of a collection of vignettes and short stories--not all believable--woven into a minimalist account. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzSizemore seems to be operating in his own dimension outside the confines of the film and script, just doing whatever he wants. That's not a compliment. Mills' direction is the movie's high point. It's assured, and he stages scenes with skill. |
| StarburstJohn TownsendFor the majority of people, the name Jack Durant will be unfamiliar. Sadly, after Travis Mills' film Durant's Never Closes that will likely remain the case. |
| Movie BoeufDavid N. ButterworthTom Sizemore has long deserved a juicy leading role. Unfortunately, Jack Durant isn't it, at least not as written here. |
| User ReviewWade DTom Sizemore's portrayal of Jack Durant in Durant's Never Closes will keep you deeply involved with this film. Playing on both the good and the bad of Jack Durant's character, you get a chance to see a glimpse of the real life of Jack Durant, the owner of the famous restaurant in Phoenix. Travis Mills of Running Wild Films has done a great job with this one. If you enjoy real stories about real people, this great Indie flick will hold your attention. |
| User ReviewEric AThis film tells the story of Phoenix restaurateur and man of mystery, Jack Durant. He was believed to have mob ties and many of the city's business elite would dine and conduct business at Durant's. It is said that the 1976 assassination of Arizona Republic reporter, Don Bolles, was planned over a meal in its dining room. Bolles' murder remains unsolved in the minds of many. Durant's restaurant, founded in 1950, still stands today and remains one of the most popular dining spots in town. Tom Sizemore brilliantly captures the larger than life character of Jack Durant, one of Phoenix's most controversial figures. We follow Durant through a day in his restaurant. After this day, things will never be the same. The supporting cast helps paint a beautiful portrait of a time gone by and the events that changed Arizona forever. |
| User ReviewDan BGritty, tough movie about Phoenix as it transitioned fro cowtown to City. Sizemore is great, if unlikeable. Like the real Durant. Underrated by critics. |
| User ReviewGita FA great film, Tom Sizemore fits the shoe and gives a gruff and emotional performance. |
