DVD Reviews
Given the title of this movie, the hero of
this flick should have been a lot more "Careful!" But
he wasn't. He plunged in head first and almost drowned.
This is a Summer movie that reminds me sometimes of "Body
Heat." It's not a film noir. Call it Noir Lite.
Former Pop Star Nick Jonas plays Doug, a
young man about to head off to college. He and his family
are having one last family vacation at a lake resort. Doug
and his friend Carson work at a local watering hole. Doug is
a virgin (not a very realistic plot point. and there was no
reason given for it), and Carson is determined to get him
laid. Instead, Doug gets involved with the sexy young woman
next door (Isabel Lucas), who's married to a
dangerous-seeming investment banker (Dermot Mulroney).
At first it appears to be romantic movie,
although there is definitely a sense of foreboding. Then
some terrible things happen, and Doug is caught up in a
crime and has to fight to save himself. There are several
good twists at the end. However, they definitely weaken the
plot by having the "bad girl" save Doug at the end. It would
have been a much better movie if Doug had died or gone to
jail for her crimes.
It's an enjoyable movie, for the most part,
with good characters. Paul Sorvino has a fun role as the
local sheriff, and "Battlestar Galactica"'s Kandyse McClure
plays an insurance investigator. Mulroney was great in his
role. If you have some time on your hands, or you're a Jonas
Brothers fan, I would suggest you check it out. Teens will
probably love it.
Unfortunately, there are no features or
extras on this DVD. That's a shame. It would have been great
to learn about how it was written or planned, and about
filming, etc.
