Rating:  - MR. REYNOLDS HAS IT WRAPPED
Fellow reviewer Tom Reynolds must be psychic. His review of this movie says everything I would have said, and he says it so well. I agree that it's a shame. Actors such as Campbell Scott and Laura Linney deserve better material to work with and it's to their estimable talent that they can survive a turkey like this one. There's nothing to this movie, nothing to remember, and one only has to wonder why it was even made?
Rating: - You'll fall asleep
I'm sorry but this movie bored the crap out of me. I found the front cover misleading. I thought this would have been a thriller about high society life not everything is what it seems. I fell asleep half way. Borrow it, don't even rent, worse yet don't buy it!
Rating:  - will stay with you long after it's over
I really liked this movie. It's not exactly what I expected -- the video cover makes it seem like a thriller -- but it's different and funny in its own way. I thought the acting was good and the story fun. Days after I watched it I was still thinking about it and some of the images too. In the end it was sweet and romantic but real.
Rating: - Just Not a Good Movie...
My advice, if you must watch it, rent it... don't buy it! You'll be wasting your cash!
I rented it, because I like Campbell Scott, but it wasn't a good one. (Sorry Campbell)
The best movie he was in... one of my favorite's... is "The Love Letter". Watch that one instead if you havn't seen it yet! (A love story, yes, but a hek of alot better than this one no matter what the subject matter.)
Rating: - The Actors (and the Audience) Deserve Better
Everybody likes a good mystery and a good movie, and together the two make a potent combination; unfortunately, you get neither with "Lush," written and directed by Mark Gibson, a film that leads you down the path apparently for no other reason than to lead you down the path, and that's considering it from the most positive and objective point of view one could possibly muster. Rarely does a movie leave the viewer with such a pronounced sense of indifference as this one, or with the feeling that the entire experience was, at best, pointless.
When Lionel Exley (Campbell Scott), a promising professional golfer, chooses the comforts of the bottle over his career, he is ousted from the circuit. He goes back home to New Orleans to sort out his life, which he does by looking through the bottom of a whiskey glass. Then he meets Firmin Carter (Jared Harris), a hopeless alcoholic with one up on Lionel, however, inasmuch as he is wealthy, which means that when he hits the floor, at least it's the best that money can buy.
Lionel quickly becomes something of a confidant to Firmin, which leads to a proposal Firmin makes to his new found friend, which could be a lucrative proposition if they can pull it off. Lionel demurs, however, as in the sober light of day it all just seems too ludicrous. But after another night of drinking, it appears that Lionel just may have pulled it off after all. The problem is, he doesn't remember a thing-- and suddenly the police are in his $9.00-per-night ... Read More
