Sushi Girl (2012)
2/10
Slow and unbearable at times but I had to find out if I was right

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, this movie had a promising start.

A cast of five dodgy characters gathered together for sushi eaten off a young brunette lying on a table.

We quickly learn that there had been a robbery six years ago and some diamonds are missing, possibly in the possession a guy called Fish, who has just spent those past six years in jail.

And then follows a slow, drawn out mixture of action from six years ago and interrogation talk in the present day, the characters sitting as they are in this room eating sushi off this brunette lying on a table.

It took me a while to work out that was Star Wars actor Mark Hamill as ageing blond gay man Crow. Good acting by him, but Tony Todd gives another of his over-acting performances.

I'm sorry but this movie is far too talkative. Most of the dialogue is forgettable filler. I spent half an hour trying to get into this film but it wasn't working for me. Besides I had already figured out the ending: so impatient as I was, I whizzed right through to the end.

Yeah, I was right. Maybe you will be too. I would have given this film one star, BUT I was intrigued to know if my suspicious were right about the ending, so I gave it a 2. And it doesn't take an Einstein - the clue is in the title.

Not my type of film, for definite.
