I am sure that whatever Mr. Neumayr has to say about The Life Of David Gale is on the mark, but it is frustrating to read all this commentary — on TAP and elsewhere — about the movie without knowing exactly what the plot details are. Pieces like this that present only partial information serve to arouse curiosity, and may lead people to waste their time and money on what is undoubtedly an unworthy film, just to see what the buzz is about.
I think it is now necessary for James Bowman to write a comprehensive review of this movie, laying out the complete story including the twist ending, tearing it apart point by point in his inimitable, sublime manner.
p>Recently, he has stuck to reviewing mostly foreign films while ignoring our domestic productions. This is understandable, as anything good to be found in cinema now usually comes from somewhere other than Hollywood. However, he is at his most effective and useful when deflating the hype surrounding the latest blockbuster or conversation film.
