Thursday (1998)

Casey was a drug dealer and now he lives a normal life with his wife. One day Casey's old partner Nick showed up. Nick borrows Casey's car for a ride and leaves a briefcase full of drugs without telling Casey. Peoples starts to show up in search of that briefcase. It's a one day story, moreover looks like a Pulp Fiction type movie. The music also plays out nicely and black humor works sometimes. The plot is simple with phenomenal scenario and actors handled their role amazingly. Overall, it's a watchable chaotic movie and I really enjoyed it.

Review: I wasn't that impressed with this dated film which has a silly storyline and a bad script. It all based around an ex-con who gets dragged back into his bad ways when his brother turns up on his doorstep. I wasn't expecting that much from the film because of its age and the fact that I hadn't heard of it when it first came out, but it's watchable and there are some intense moments. It is a poor attempt of a comedy crime caper, by the director, but It didn't hurt damage any of the actors careers. Average! Round-Up: Aaron Eckhart is one of those actors that doesn't get the praise that he deserves. He has starred in some top films like Olympus Has Fallen and The Dark Knight were he put in a good performance as Harvey Dent, but he hasn't become an household name. Thomas Jane is another actor that hasn't really blown up in Hollywood but that is due to the bad attempt at The Punisher, were he played the leading role, and The Deep Blue Sea, which also didn't go down to well.I recommend this movie to people who are into there comedic crime capers about a man who trying to go straight after being in a world of crime. 3/10

I don't know whether this is director and screenwriter Skip Woods own experience, but I must admit, this a one hell of a busy Thursday. He has created a play which concentrates on a single day in a week. Just a regular day. And shows how one day can bring back everything you have put behind for years. Or how one day can change your life totally so you can turn a new page and start over.. again. It's a good script. Gives you some fine action, nudity, fun and lots of blood. Thomas Jane and Aaron Eckhart are young guys here. And if you are a man, you must admit Polina Porizkova looks pretty damn sexy here.Thursday is not for everybody. It's more like a guys movie. Thursday is a great day in a week. It means one thing.. it can go only better from there.

It resembles so much to movies like PULP FICTION or RESERVOIR DOGS that is impossible to think that Tarantino's films weren't a source of inspiration to this THURSDAY. However for a low cost B-Series movie it's not bad. The plot about gangsters is captivating and funny and it also has a bit of dark humor and sarcasm we can find in PULP FICTION. The resources weren't many fore sure but the film is well produced. The acting also is good. I enjoyed the scene when the girl was sat on the sofa teasing the doctor... It was hot and funny at the same time! The soundtrack is nice too. I didn't hear too many songs but the ones I heard I liked. I score it 7/10.
