Movie Reviews

CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CroceM*A*S*H* stripped from its wise-guy veneer
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe ensemble cast comes up smart with some fine spontaneous performances.
Spirituality and Practice - 5/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatConveys the toxic effects of the Vietnam war
New York Times - 4/10 by Vincent CanbyIt goes partway toward realizing the full effect of a stage play as a film, then botches the job by the overabundant use of film techniques, which dismember what should be an ensemble performance.
User Review - 8/10 by Carlos MAn intense and well written drama that deals with matters like racism, homophobia, self-acceptance and the dehumanizing side of war, relying on a revealing dialogue and with strong performances by its entire ensemble cast, especially Michael Wright and George Dzundza.
User Review - 8/10 by Bill BWow, no other recent reviews? This was just on IFC. This movie was adapted from a play and it's really obvious that not much was done to change the film. If they had just filmed the stage, there wouldn't have been much difference as far as content goes. This is all well and good with me, considering that the play just so happens to be fantastic. Even though this is a Matthew Modine Vietnam movie from the 80's, it has none of the sense of horror or demented nostalgia or brotherhood that movie like Full Metal Jacket had. These are just a few soldiers sitting around bored with nothing to do, but talk, think, and get as drunk as possible. Unlike MASH, there are almost no female characters and there is no comedy. It's like real life. The title Streamers refers to according to imdb, "parachutes that do not open." It's a perfect title for this film. What we are given is a relatively subtle and calm situation that very subtly and gradually gets out of hand. All of the characters attempt to reason with the invisible force that guides them to their horrifying fates, but it doesn't matter. In a way, the escalation of the situation can be seen as a parable on the entire war. Or just general human relations in close quarters. This was not the movie I was expecting, but it did provide a whole lot of things to think about once it had finished.
User Review - 6/10 by Bill MMatthew Modine is due for a great big screen "comeback role."
User Review - 6/10 by Codie EThe film should be successful, the tight one set allowing a great deal of focus to the few characters, some provocative subject material and Altman at the helm. But it just doesn't click, uninventive camera work, overly dramatic, with a patchy script, and a terrible performance by Michael Wright.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MAltman goes a good way toward realizing the full effect of a stage play as a film, then pulls the rug out from himself by the overabundant use of film techniques, which dismember what should be an ensemble performance.
User Review - 6/10 by Grizz FAltman's assured hand with ensembles ought to have liberated Rabe's plays, sprung it from the stage and turned it into something cinematic. But Altman refuses to do so. The performances are too big for the screen, pitched to the last from of a theater. One wonders why they felt the need for a complete set when it would have been truer to the intent of the filmmakers tom film a theatrical production? The subtance of the play is well realized by the cast, but the result is about as uncinematic as you can imagine.
