Just for Kicks (2003)
Rudy is my grandson's new hero!!
I saw a film called "evenhand" and was intrigued by the lead actor, so I rented "just for kicks" to see his other work. I watched it with my grandson. He loved it and demanded that this father sign him up for soccer next season. He then walked around doing imitations of his new hero, Rudy, played by Bill Dawes (the same lead actor in "evenhand.") I had to buy the DVD for him -- that's how much he loves it. Yes, it's not for parents, but the 7 and under crowd should love it!
EvenHand (2002)
Why is Bill Dawes not a star?
My adolescent son rented this "cop" film "EVENHAND" a couple of days ago, and I reluctantly agreed to watch with him. He got bored with it after thirty minutes, but I was actually intrigued and decided to give it a try. I was, in effect, blown away! I didn't realize that there were "cop" films like this. This was by no means a typical car chase, shootemup -- this was an adult film about troubled people in real situations, dealing with real issues. It kind of reminded me of the early "NYPD Blues" series before it got weird and convoluted. I was very impressed with the two actors, and, since I never seen their work before, I thought perhaps they were two police officers who decided to make a movie about their lifes. That's how realistic it seemed! When I see actors like this who are unknown, and then I see all the mediocre actors on tv, I have to ask...
