A jazz musician (Mickey Rourke) falls in love with an angel (Megan Fox) and pursues her relentlessly, after he stumbles upon a roadside attraction in the middle of nowhere. He was brought to the middle of nowhere by an assassin who was supposed to kill him because he was sleeping with a gangster's woman (Kelly Lynch). But a bunch of Indians rescue him.Megan fox looked great. But an aging Kelly Lynch looked better than her. Mickey Rourke was cool. But the guy isn't aging well. Bill Murray was unremarkable at best.Passion Play is a confused mess of a film that alternates between a Rob Zombie movie with roadside attractions and a stylish city based gangster flick.I loved the background score.For once, the IMDb rating is perfect. I don't know how Mickey Rourke zeroes in on these masterpieces.(5/10)

Fitting in properly with that topic is Megan Fox together with her typical superior seems, probably proving that she was born sixty to 70 many years too late. In fact, Regardless of the broad distinction within their ages, Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox, equally Hollywood outcasts, generate a great pair.

I ultimately viewed this movie with my dad on his laptop hooked towards the TV set and I appreciated it.What I beloved about it's the story moves in a sluggish tempo and lets the people evolve extra freely. A lot of men and women would think gradual is uninteresting, but not me. The portrayal of the figures and the selection of who plays that is casted effectively.Megan Fox proved her performing truly worth In this particular movie a lot better than any of her other movies. Mickey Rourke performed the right down-on-his-luck type of man looking to place his existence back together, and struggling at it. Invoice Murray's challenging, nevertheless suave character proves that even a comic can Participate in tough.The new music contains a essential role in setting the mood for each scene and Dickon Hinchliffe nailed it.

Passion Play isn't Awful, but it is not great possibly, in any way. Rourke, Murray and Ifans are actually wasted On this Film, but Rourke is actually the a person that is miscast listed here. I held taking a look at the clock so This might wrap up, induce the movie was boring at times. The script is not very good, the acting not horrible, but it did not assistance nearly anything, the story was inadequate and the rating is what can make this Film monotonous, the one music I liked was the aspect when Mickey Rourke's character was actively playing the trumpet for Lily (Megan Fox). Megan Fox was incredibly not the worst part of the movie, she failed to wreck this movie (at the least she's improving upon), what was definitely off was the 0% and forced chemistry among Fox and Rourke. It seriously felt like it had been compelled, there was no link, the really uncomfortable and Odd second was the intercourse scene, seriously negative. I'll provide the Film some thing: Bill Murray and Rhys Ifans tend to be the better part of the Motion picture, they no less than give very good performances, the message of somebody currently being a "freak" and eager to be normal, but whats gorgeous is on your own, but I've witnessed better videos with that message (see "The Elephant Person" superior), Megan Fox is improving upon her acting as well as cinematography. But a nasty script, a miscast male direct, a lackluster and pressured chemistry from its sales opportunities, a tedious score and an ending that leaves you ".....that..I'm not shopping for that" Enthusiasm Participate in leaves you believing that this movie skipped anything, and what it skipped was "enthusiasm"
