In the 1990’s, Lachlan MacAldonich was on
top of the world. He was in a pop
band from Britain and he had a lot of hit songs on the radio. Now he maintains a low profile working
on an organic farm in Los Angeles.
He also works on a podcast, Flame-Outs, about the untimely deaths of his
favorite musicians including his brother. Lachlan is pulled over for drunken driving and a
previous drug offense in his past are used against him for deportation.
Robert Carlyle was in The Full Monty and Trainsposting, he does a good job as Lachlan but this lead character is not very likeable once
the charm of his nice accent wears off.
How can I care about whether or not he’s deported if I’m not sure he
belongs here? Not enough
substance, I keep wondering why I am watching? 2 1/2* (This movie is just so-so)
95 min, Drama directed by Marshall Lewy with Robert
Carlyle, Danny Masterson, Sean McCraken, Kathleen Wilhoite, William Russ, A
Martinez, Michael Des Barres.
Note:
Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 5.0 out of 10, 67% critic 61% audience on Rotten
Tomatoes.
