Console best movie i've ever seen.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

namashi_1 Matthew Warchus directed 'Simpatico' has an interesting premise, but the advantage of it's promising concept, doesn't really reflect on celluloid. Reason? The Screenplay is stretched & slightly unspoken. It offers a few interesting moments in the first hour, but the second hour doesn't offer much.'Simpatico' is a tale of betrayal, greed, vengeance & complications. Though adapted by a play, this drama begins well, but, as told before, drags itself too much towards the end, and thus, the impact goes amiss.Matthew Warchus has directed this story fairly. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is passable. Acting Wise: Nick Nolte is just about okay. Jeff Bridges is decent, while Sharon Stone gets very limited scope. Albert Finney and Catherine Keener are noticeable.On the whole, An Average Fare, At Best.

robo8 I really don't know where to start. The characters weren't that believable at all. The development they have gone through (as you see them in their youth as well) and the development they go through during the movie just doesn't make sense to me.And the plot, you can smell something similar to a plot here and there, but that is as close as you get. The first 15-20 minutes it works, it feels like an ordinary movie. But then it just breaks down and you wonder what the message is, what the story is, what the heck this movie is supposed to convey.In summary it's a pointless flick that doesn't strike any chords in me anyway.

hermit58 Simpatico wasn't a bad film, but nowhere near what I would have expected from the strong cast, and a Sam Shepard penned work. I don't know a great deal about horseracing, the backdrop of the film, but I do know if you bet on the favorite, you win less than betting on a longshot. That seems to be what happened here, the deck is stacked with terrific actors, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Albert Finney, and Catherine Keener. The resulting film is a letdown however. Finney and Keener are wonderful in it, but I think Nolte and Bridges could have been given more to work with. I bet that this cast and a suspenseful thriller, would have me riveted, but, the payoff was meager at best. If you are going to build a tale around the storm clouds of the past gathering on the horizon, you better have more than a common rainstorm coming thereafter. Another blow to the hopes that film noir can be current and still as good as in the golden age of the 40's film classics. Two stars out of a possible four.Not Highly Recommended.**.

chet19 Like so many other reviews, I agree that this film had a great cast but nothing worked. It's one of those movies where 4 or 5 characters are introduced, and they drop hints about some major, major secret event that took place 30 years earlier. They keep alluding to it and dropping hints and showing ultra-fast flashback sequences (like 3 or 4 seconds at time). The purpose, of course, is to tease us in the audience and make us die with curiousity and dying to know what the big secret in the past was. Instead, I was looking at my watch and wondering when (if ever) is Sharon Stone gonna appear in this film. If you tease the big secret too long, you better deliver one HELLUVA major secret...and it wasn't. Albert Finney and Catherine Keener and Stone are wonderful in this. But the plot?? Albert Finney catches some kids in a race-horse scheme. They offer him a bribe, but he does NOT take the money. He tells them just don't do it anymore. He could have taken their money, but he didn't. He could have turned them into the cops, but he didn't. Instead, he was nice enough to give them a break and realize they were just young kids trying to make a buck. So how do they pay him back?? They blackmail him! HUH???? You're supposed to blackmail a-holes who did you wrong, not guys who cut you some slack. And what's up with Jeff Bridges? He goes from a good looking billionaire to a street bum in a matter of 24 hours?? HUH???? Totally 100% unbelievable, simply because he did this transformation on his own free will !!! And Sharon Stone's character feels sorry for her soon-to-be-sold horse and does not want to see it destroyed, so guess what she does???
