The Girl on the Train
"There are limits to artistic self-indulgence, limits to how long a filmmaker can keep spinning his creative wheels before his work approaches self-parody, and limits to the tolerance of even a devoted specialized audience for artistic vacuity, and they are all well exceeded by The Limits of Control. This discerningly photographed travelogue of modern Spain features Jim Jarmusch in shallow poetaster mode, grafting familiar quasi-philosophical doodles and trendy cameos onto a woolly hitman's journey. The limit on the theatrical potential for this Focus Features release is extreme." -- from Todd McCarthy's Variety review, posted yesterday afternoon.

That's what I was afraid of. I had to force myself to finish watching Ghost Dog.

Never has a director ripped off his own movie more than "Ghost Dog" rips off "Dead Man."

And you get to see Gary Farmer say the same "stupid fucking white man" line in each.
