Stephen’s King’dom Marathon: Film #82
”Too much imperfection and damaged merchandise.”
I watched, and I waited. I waited and I watched. I saw boring scenes come, and I saw boring scenes go. All I could do is grimace as this film dragged on and on… slower than melting asphalt on a Death Valley highway.
Thankfully every now and then Christian Slater chewed some scenery in his Slaterly way, and the final act was mildly interesting.
However, as a whole this felt like yet another Stephen King road to nowhere that left me stranded and buried in its dull desert of mediocrity….
”I’m ready to move on.
I’m ready to bury the past.”
Christian Slater performance ranking
The opening of this was actually pretty good. It opens with nice vista of the desert and the credits roll as the camera moves over the lines of a highway at breakneck speed.
There’s narration talking about a guy who is a satanic figure with descriptors like “when he grins, birds fall off telephone lines, when he looks at you a certain way your prostate goes bad and your urine”. I thought “Hey, this sounds way too familiar. Weren’t these lines used verbatim to describe villain Randall Flagg (the walkin’ dude) in Stephen King’s The Stand?”. Soon enough the words “based on the short story by Stephen King” popped up. That quote is way out of…
After a gangster kills his wife, a man will go to the limits of his own sanity to get revenge.
I really like the short story this is based on, if you like Stephen King i recommend you read it, because this movie is not very good. It doesn't seem to understand what made the original story Work so it adds things that miss the point of the story completely. Well that means it fails as an adaptation, but it doesn't work as it's own thing either. It looks like a life time movie and the acting is not good, shame because both Slater and Bentley are capable of doing a lot better.
A cliche and melodramatic revenge story that could of been something better.
I can only describe this film as the worst Christian Slater performance I have ever seen - and that sucks because Christian Slater rocks as a creepy villain with suppressed anger issues.
Everything about this lower-budget action flick based on a Stephen King novella just felt unimaginative, uneven, and irredeemably boring. Very little about this film remained memorable aside from Wes Bentley's performance which wasn't all that bad.
Everything else was very boring.
Aus der Feder von Stephen King stammender Rache Thriller, der leider so ziemlich in allem purer Durchschnitt ist.
Eines Tages beobachtet ein Ehepaar in Las Vegas einen brutalen Mord, der vom berüchtigten Unterweltboss Jimmy Dolan ausgeführt wird. Die Ehefrau ist bereit auszusagen, gerät dann aber kurzerhand ins Visier der Mafia. Nach ihrem Tod und fehlenden Beweisen, um eine korrekte Verhaftung durchzuführen, ist der Ehemann auf Rache aus.
An der Storyfront also relativ wenig Neues dafür weiß man aber mit einem sehr guten Christian Slater und racheerfüllten Wes Bentley auf der Darstellerebene einiges rauszuholen.
Allzu viel Action sollte man nicht erwarten, gerade im Mittelteil wird es sehr dialoglastig, was dem Film eine gewisse Länge gibt
Mehr Fahrt nimmt es dann im…
45/100
Another lackluster adaptation of a short story by Stephen King.
I don't know why it's so hard for screenwriters and filmmakers to do things right with his stories.
Dolan's Cadillac is apparently based on a short story by Stephen King. I haven't actually read the short story so I have no idea how the movie stands up next to the book. I do however have an idea as to why this movie sucked ass.
For starters the acting from the leads is mediocre as fuck. The only exception being Christian Slater as Dolan who is pretty much the only reason to watch this piece of shit. He does a quite the job playing a pseudo-intellectual thug. Watching him shit all over everybody and be a massive douche is enjoyable. If you like Christian Slater watching this just to see him yell at people on the phone isn't the…
I finished watching Dolan's Cadillac (2009) on the OnStream app tonight and I wasn't a fan of this one. The finale was the worst part of this movie, it does nothing for me. The acting is decent but that's all I can say.
My rating: 4/10.
Stephen King kept the rights to a handful of his stories and grants amateur filmmakers with specific budgets and lack of experience permission to adapt them for the cost of one dollar. They're called "Dollar Babies". You can imagine the range of quality that comes out of this project.
Dolan's Cadillac is not one of these, but it sure as hell is less competent than any Dollar Baby I've seen.
Based on a 1985 King short story. Wife explodes via mobster she is ratting out, husband wants revenge. Nothing interesting happens and they all talk too much and with too many words. I wonder how this cast got attached to such a bare, inept movie. It could hardly hold my…
Hooptober 3.0 Film #36
TASK #10: One Stephen King adaptation (in tribute to Stranger Things)!
A failure, both as an adaptation of the Stephen King short story of the same name and as its own thing, all Dolan’s Cadillac has going for it is an enjoyable performance from the underrated Christian Slater, as almost everything else about it is boring and poorly executed.
What a pleasant surprise this was!! I was curious as to how good Richard dooling and Jeff Beesley would turn a brilliant 55 page Stephen King story into a full length feature..they did an excellent job! The new additions to the story were nice as was the acting with exception of a few of Wes Bentley's scenes..he's hit or miss. The climax was smothering and made me feel slightly claustrophobic. Overall, this is a brilliant story of revenge...when Stephen King's stories are done good, It's a magical thing...
