Widows 3/10
Tonight at AFI with Koko we saw two movies. One of them was Widows starring everybody and their mama. This movie was like having every ingredient needed to bake a cake and ending up with candy corn. I don't know what the hell happened. Full disclosure, I saw the trailer for this a few months back and thought it was a joke. I did not think this was an actual thing that was being made so I did not have high hopes for enjoying it. But then as the movie started I got all kinds of happy seeing who was in it. “They got Punisher in this shit?! And Liam Neesons?! Michelle Rodriguez aka Wife #3 and Viola Davis aka Wife #5?!” Suddenly I was very interested in this movie. Hell, a lot of the cast and the director Steve McQueen were even there. I live down the street from Hollywood. Be all kinds of jealous. I'm just saying. So in the Mann's Chinese Theater or whatever they call it now with 900 mutants we watched what ended up being a clusterfuck of a movie.
This takes place about ten years ago. I guess. It says that on Wikipedia but I don't recall that in the film. Some thieves played by Liam Neeson, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Jon Bernthal, and Coburn Goss end up getting blown up after a heist goes wrong. Don't get attached because they are here for a cup of coffee. There are flashbacks showing Neeson and his wife Veronica played by Viola Davis being all lovey dovey with one another. Next thing you know a big ass explosion. The cutting is cute for a bit but gets old fast. These guys took two million bucks that belong to a crime boss running a campaign named Jamal Manning. He is played by Brian Tyree Henry. He is up against Jack Mulligan played by Colin Farrell whose father is currently running the city played by Robert Duvall. Seriously. This is a great cast and this should have been much better.
Veronica finds her dead husband's old notebook that is full of past crimes, future crimes, and names. She is threatened by Manning and told that she needs to get his money back somehow. He grabs her dog by the neck and the theater gasps expecting some John Wick style disaster. It does not happen. Veronica asks her late husbands driver named Bash played by Garret Dillahunt to find the names of the wives of the other men killed with her husband. This is the crux of the entire movie and where it begins to fall apart. Before I get on my ramble and complaint fest I will say that I would have enjoyed this if it were just about Manning and Mulligan running for office against each other. Their story line is a movie in itself and the actual plot of this movie just gets in the way. Daniel Kaluuya as Jatemme is an amazing villain. I did not think he had the ability to be terrifying but he did.
One of the women is Linda played by Michelle Rodriguez. Her husband was shitty and she just wants to run a store and support her kids. The next is Alice played by Elizabeth Debicki. Her mom wants her to be a whore and her husband beat her. The last widow does not show up and when you find out more shit about her it turns this into a comedy. Seriously, the plot twist to this movie is so terrible. It could have been done well but it was not. They need someone to drive so they bring in Belle played by Cynthia Erivo and immediately I had a new wife. She is awesome and could kick my ass. She is a babysitter. So yeah. This team has never worked together. Do not know shit about one another. And as far as they were concerned their lives sucked but there were no death threats made on their lives until Veronica shows up like “We need to get two million dollars or they will kill me...I mean us. They will kill us.”
PURE SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON.
The big plot twist of this movie is that Liam Neeson did not die in the explosion with the rest of his crew. He set them up and is working with Colin Ferrell. For two million dollars he had his crew killed and was ready to let his wife think that he is dead. Turns out that Neeson is living with one of the ladies that did not show up for the heist. Veronica goes to meet with her and on the second trip sees a flask that Neeson owned and it is confirmed he is alive. He also has a kid with this lady. They show through flashbacks that Veronica and Neeson had a son that was killed by a police man because he does not know how to act when pulled over. They had fights about maybe he would not have been killed if he were 100% White. Not sure how long ago the dude was killed but her hair is different so I guess enough time had passed. So I guess that means that he was holding this resentment or whatever against her and just biding his time being all loving to her and having this extra kid on the side. Either way, he shows back up after the easiest looking heist in cinema. The prep for this heist is so sloppy and silly and not exciting.
During the heist the really tall blonde is shot because studios will be damned if out of four women, two being Black and one Latina, that one of them gets shot. Plus, in all honesty, other than Viola Davis' character the blonde was considered expendable. If you don't have kids you are pretty much a meat shield. I didn't want them to accomplish this heist because I didn't care about them. The most effective member of the team was Erivo's character. She had multiple jobs, a daughter, had to literally run to the bus stop to avoid sexual harassment, and leave her own child at home to take care of other folks kids. If two or three of the women were like her I would have cared more. Other than her the women in this movie had garbage ass husbands that secretly or openly treated them like shit and they accepted it.
It is the next morning and I have read some reviews of this movie and am baffled. The only things I liked about this movie were Erivo, Kaluuya, and Brian Tyree Henry. If this were about the political story between the brothers and Mulligan's family it would have been cool. Or if this was about a group of women that actually knew one another and whose husbands, even if they were trash, were cool or nice I would have wanted them to succeed. The music to this was good. Can't say much for the directing. I have only seen two of McQueen's films now and not enjoyed them. Between this and 12 Years A Slave I'm good on dude. This was not intense, dramatic, cheesy, fun, or action packed. There was too much humor and not nearly enough character development to make me give a damn. If you love movies and rave about them because of who made them and are in them you'll love this. If you want a good story watch something else.
