SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

OBXconsumer Ugh - I saw all the good actors listed and so I watched this movie. Can I erase my memory? Maybe go to Total Recall and pay to have it removed? I just wanted to know how the little boy got in the coma. Is that too much to ask?? It was really depressing and I guess the only moral to the story is that if you just get through it things might get better if you can make a connection with someone else before you get so depressed you want to shoot yourself in the head. I also could not understand how Ray Liotta's character was deep in snow but The stripper and the mortician - there was no snow. The snow was blue - so that explained the title of the movie but still did not make sense. I just found the movie a little disturbing all-in-all. It was about as shallow as Demi Moore's stripper debut movie and that other awful movie I had managed to forget with the redhead stripper from Head of the Class but she could not act and these people could. I will steer clear of Crash and Magnolia, since others are hinting that this movie is even worse than those. I will only have to conclude for myself that the little boy is in a coma because his coke-head mom crashed the car or dropped him on his head. She didn't deserve to have a dog either.

SnoopyStyle It's the Christmas season in L.A. Rose Johnny (Jessica Biel) is a drug-addicted stripper at Velvet Larry (Patrick Swayze)'s sleazy strip club with a coma kid in the hospital. Her dog escapes from her motel room and gets run over by shy mortician Qwerty Doolittle (Eddie Redmayne). Jack Doheny (Ray Liotta) is just released after 25 years in prison. His former boss Randall (Kris Kristofferson) gives him a suitcase full of money and directions to Rose Johnny. Charlie (Forest Whitaker) is a suicidally depressed ex-priest. He picks up transsexual prostitute Lexus (Alejandro Romero) and offers her his life savings of $50k to kill him with his gun. Doolittle is struggling for money and Charlie shows up offering the same deal. Waitress Sally (Lisa Kudrow) tries to show Charlie some kindness.These characters are all lost. There is an emptiness in these characters and quite frankly in this movie. The actors try their best but filmmaker Timothy Linh Bui can't really pull it all together. The scattered nature of the narrative diffuses any tension. It just fails to maintain my interest in these people. Somewhere in the first half, it needs to reveal the connections and the backstories.

Tom Smith It's so sad. "Powder Blue" had the promise, but it failed. I love the concept of the intersection of non related lives. Who knows how often it happens in real life? "Babel" did an absolutely outstanding job of intersecting unrelated individuals, along with of course having a great story and acting. It's the only movie I've seen that was successful in that regard.No other movie, including "Power Blue" has done a good job of intertwining disparate lives. It doesn't seem that complicated to write and direct a successful story along these lines.If you're looking for a great movie which intertwines several disparate lives, see "Babel" with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. It's fantastic. Don't bother with "Powder Blue".

Will McMorrow This movie was life changing to say the least. Although at times its a little unbelievable the only two words i could use to describe are emotional and roller coaster.I felt Gareth O'Conner's performance may have let the move down a little bit with his snooty comments and obscene gestures.The movies shocking nature forces one to consider what does it really mean to ones self. In my opinion anyone who has not seen powder Blue is lacking in life.i really felt the scene with the strippers was particularly striking due to its beautiful imagery that spoke novels to me. I feel that the movie also has serious re-watch value it seems that there is always a new angle to ponder the movie from
