Movie #549 "Rancid Aluminum" is not for everyone. It's very very quirky and full of dark humor. I thought I would love the movie --- afterall, Rhys Ifans, from "Nottinghill" and Joe Fiennes (from anything he has done --- Will Shakespeare in Shakespeare in love is enough) star in it ---- but it is so uneven to me, that I fell out of like with it, halfway through ---- ended up not caring by the time the ending came. Maybe I was just tired ---- don't know ---- but the Russian Mafia was terribly boring to me, esp. the russian woman. So didn't much like this. Crossed the silly line.
I gave this 3 out of 5 stars
Rancid Aluminum
(2000) R
Pete Thompson (Rhys Ifans) lives footloose and fancy-free. But following his father's death, Thompson discovers the family business is going bust, and his only option for restoring the family fortune involves the Russian mafia. What's more, his relationship with his girlfriend is on the rocks, he's having a fling with his married secretary and he's spending too much time at Harry's drug den. In short, Pete's in trouble.
