A Cat in Paris

Seen for the first time in October 2012.

I enjoyed maybe 10 minutes of this 60 minute film, basically from the moment the criminals discover and start chasing the girl until the moment that Nico gets arrested. Otherwise this is pretty dull, with too much expository dialogue, and a mother who’s every emotion about her dead husband, her daughter, and her husband’s killer is irritating. The kid is silent throughout the film, but at the end pointlessly summarizes the whole plot reminding us just how irritating most of this movie was. Just in case anyone had forgotten. The gangsters were menacing briefly during the high point of this movie, but otherwise were as shoddily written and irritating as everything else. Some “Goodfellas” and “Reservoir Dogs” riffs completely fall flat. Grade D.
