Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

jadavix Equinox is a movie that begins with an interesting enough idea, but loses it in the second part of the movie and just becomes a boring drudge. Modine, Marisa Tomei, Kevin O'Connor, M. Emmet Walsh and Fred Ward are all top par actors who are up to the challenge. Lara Flynn Boyle, on the other hand, is seriously underwhelming and gives the movie nothing. The movie follows twins who don't know of each other's existence. One is good, the other bad. The good twin is much more arrestingly played by Matthew Modine than the bad one; the script also gives the bad one little of interest to do anyway. I couldn't work out what Lara Flynn Boyle was doing in the movie and the character of the writer also eluded me. The movie didn't make me care enough to find out.

peterjstanley This and Rudolph's "Trouble in Mind" seem, to me, to be companion pieces. They both take place in a future that serves to create a mood around the characters rather than spectacle for the audience. They seem to be almost completely forgotten with no DVDs on the cards, and that is a shame since they are both terrific.Equinox contains great work from Matthew Modine, Lara Flynn Boyle and Kevin J. O'Connor in particular, but this is a quality production from top to bottom. The twin storyline threatens to drag this into the trash but the script dodges a lot of the tiresome clichés that you would expect from reading the synopsis or tag line. Please ignore the poor rating and bad reviews on IMDb. This one has been severely overlooked.

dwpollar 1st watched 9/10/1998 - 5 out of 10(Dir-Alan Rudolph): Strange tale of twin brothers going their separate ways after being adopted. The film leaves too many questions unanswered and finishes so abruptly that it seems to have been cut short in production. A longer and complete story could have been better.

helpless_dancer An old woman dies and leaves an unopened letter from years in the past. A morgue attendant takes the letter and finds that it contains information about a trust fund involving twins. She hunts down the twins, figuring on sharing the money and writing a tale based on the proceedings. As she is doing this the separate lives of the twins is unfolding in a jumbled montage. This film reminded me of "Pulp Fiction" in the disconnected way in which it was filmed. Oddball picture, but well worth the seeing.
