Five Easy Pieces

It bored me. I think that when it was made, this kind of reasonably unsympathetic “anti-hero” was still new enough that Nicholson could put it over, but at this point, I just feel like I’ve seen it done and I don’t need to see it done again. If I were a bigger Nicholson fan, I might feel differently, but as it is I think he’s awfully overrated, and a lot of the film alternates unconvincing telling with inscrutable showing. Maybe it’s important, in terms of what it tried to do and when, but it wasn’t all that entertaining. (8/28/06)
