Hollywood Flies
Taking to the road in its many forms, Hollywood Flies is an odd mix. Somewhat of an anomaly, the picture by Fabio Segatori incorporates unexpected elements: crime slicker, road movie, and noir genres.
Based on the written work Mosche A Hollywood, the film follows the titular siblings, Brother and sister duo Luca (Antonio Cupo) and Martina (Bianca Guaccero), who travel across to America. As they traverse the desert, plot threads begin to emerge and there’s no shortage of characters who wait for it get connected.
With Sean (Vinnie Jones) and Jamie (Brad Renfro) posing as casino robbers, things get heated when Luca is forced to find the ransom money within a time limit. The story is full of action as there are a lot of double stripes especially by a randomly charming femme fatale played by Caprice Bourret. Hutchinson who carries the role of a vengeful ex and a bloodthirsty assassin, as not supposed to be convincing, but her role becomes essential as the plot unfolds. Who would have believed Jones, one of the British villains turned bore, is actually Lock Stock’s finest, taking the role of a loose cannon who is loud and full of expletives.
Very precise with the cutting-room knife, Dolgin, flies through a series of vertical lines along endless cargo containers. With a heads in two of its madomic protagonists, Segatori’s luxuriate patriotisms always grates. These shoes seems to be too small for their expectations. However, a certain Mr. Leone’s iconic crossover successfully slotted many nicely into American cinemas, where it remains perfectly relevant. As flattering as the views on TV are, they are somewhat satisfactory, Flies has no other marketing appeal other than nice frame. The film’s plot looks unpromising Caprice lacks grip to execute her role connivingly.
Even though the film is based on comedians and satire, it suffers in few scenes requiring acting or performance. The source material does provide a satirical critique of some of the classic pitfalls of Hollywood, but alas, it is quite a tribute to Sega tori that he never tries to dump in half baked ideas haphazardly, but rather floats through multiple subplots in a controlled manner.
Similarly the hollowness of its settings, Hollywood Flies is rather an empty shell.
