Super Cops
It’s become quite clear, I’m not that much of a ‘good movies’ person. However, many don’t feel that way or believe there are people with taste. Which in turn reminds me that I need to reread books because no one can come up with the gall to rip off my book idea, let’s say one where I get 24 movies and how a softer and more fragile child could make them plus certain aspects, historical books, classic literature all seem like a combination of something that doesn’t allow anybody to come up with anything new.
…As much as Hollywood is supposedly a creative sanctuary for dreamers, quite the contrary, the industry is filled with greed and disappointment. Tag Black’s hilarious Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, his take on Hollywood’s ugly face was relevant in 2005 when he released the movie and frankly its still just as valid now, as it was before. It’s almost as if, with each subsequent film that covers the same theme, it loses credibility, yet in this case there seems to be a paradox. Freeman and his co-directors Willingham and Fortune wrote a screenplay while switching that voice, ‘if it’s broken, why not exploit it’.
Freeman started in Hollywood as a production assistant for Collateral in 2004 fellas these stories write themselves. Who can better stretch and stretch the needle than someone who worked behind the lines? In some ways that’s fine, but getting through the eighteen years spent in the field to return with a genuinely humorous film is a whole different genre in and of itself.
Beast Mode focuses on Breen Nash (C. Thomas Howell), the interminable agent who is often baffled by the obstinate actions of the world loved so much superstar Huck Saxton (Duvall). On a very hectic day before a filming pitch, Breen worries whether Saxton, who was partying before with prostitutes, will dare to arrive in time. Believing Saxton might still be trying to finish at the bar, Breen eases himself into his convertible and embarks on a mission to pick him up. As things turned out, the mission ended with occurrence of an accident as Breen ran the actor down unintentionally while reversing.
In confusion, Breen recalls some of their clients in the others’ testimonials office who look somewhat familiar, only not so spoilt. Together with his assistant, Breen successfully persuades the janitor also Duvall to change his looks so they could finish shooting Saxton’s film. A very well-known and respected Hollywood professional, Zelda Zine (Leslie Easterbrook) knows a lot of reconstruction techniques and made a special compound to revive the look of the controversial replacement Saxton, for lots of money. Fearing the loss of the movie, Breen opts for it. Not long after using it, however, other complications arise which eventually escalate and result in several threats to himself and people nearby.
With its players gung-ho at doing their part, Beast Mode is wholeheartedly fun, a little ludicrous, and as affectionate as an elderly grandparent. Too many times slasher comedies are filled with disgusting jokes, pop stars, or too much social commentary about other movies. This picture is unquestionably slapstick, and has a couple of jokes based on body parts, but they are never the focus of the humor. Most of the humor here is situational, as much of a sitcom’s humor is.
The whole concept is so simple that it is reminiscent of Seinfeld from the 90’s. I’m not one to indulge in sitcoms, but I respect them for providing a person with no more than one or two CID, some good laughs. One of the parts shows the new Saxton trying to convince the movie star about the fact that he is married to a true Saxton. The woman observes that his eyes are clean and irritably whether he is attempting to stay sober and this was crass humor in xa5the movie as it enabled her to take a dig at the industry. There are lots of these muddled communication shots in this film and though none will split your sides, they are funny for the time being.
