It's bad, you know the second they reference The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity right at the start it's not going to be good. Then by the time the Detour scene comes in It's like a dead dog stinking up the joint and you just want to bury it humanely. I know Kruger from her role in Inglourious Basterds, and a few other flicks out there where she did a decent job. She's got talent. This was not one of those roles, none of the actors did a passable job from the sheriff to probation officer Azaria, the daughter, husband, boyfriend/thief, they all stunk, people reference Lifetime and Hallmark, this is not even on that level, there isn't even a believable love or lust scene or dramatic bit in the movie. This is CBC quality, aka Canadian Broadcasting Corp stuff here, we're talking The Beachcombers or Littlest Hobo type 70s stuff here. The ending was a blessing, of course she ends up with the daughter lol, so predictable and 2022, the bore is over at least, not a chance I will ever watch this again.

I'm not about to say that Out of the Blue is a good movie or anything, but I believe the reviews/ratings for it are a bit harsh. It has a myriad of flaws, but "one time watchability" is not one of them and that should matter to someone looking for a film to keep themselves occupied for the night. The acting is average, with the exception of Hank Azaria who is pretty funny in his limited role. The plot follows the usual cliches of a "film noir" and is not particularly novel in any way, but you do want to see what happens in the end and that keeps you engaged the whole time up till the obvious ending and the laughable final twist at the very end which is pretty much an arbitrary add on. The biggest flaw which was mentioned earlier is the LAUGHABLE interlude frames which let the audience know how much time has elapsed. It is soooooo cheesy and totally ruins the flow of the movie. Don't know what the director was thinking with that. Still if you're bored, it's not the worst movie to occupy yourself with if you like noirish films.

I wanted to see this since I love neo-noir films and I usually love Neil Labute films, but this was just a Lifetime movie with some sex scenes thrown in, and the acting is about par with a Lifetime movie as well, except for Hank Azaria, who overacts erratically from scene to scene. Everything that is going to happen is telegraphed in every scene, so the viewer can predict everything that's going to happen including the twist ending, which wasn't much of a twist because that was telegraphed also. I would have had more fun with this if the movie hadn't forced all its cards so deliberately out into the open, but as it is, I just kept watching to see if I was right. And I was, so there's that..

Follows similar story of 1981's Body Heat. Could tell the director's decisions were aiming to have some sort of artistic value added but were questionable and fell short of the desired effect - odd transitions, meaningless scenes, forced music, and long scenes with dialogue that felt redundant failing to move the story forward. Hard to root for or get attached to any of the characters - none of them felt real, all kind of forced stereotypes. Each of the main characters (Diane Kruger and Ray Nicholson) were equally mysterious, but didn't feel like any substance between them, just physical attraction. The dialogue and decisions they made felt more like a Hollywood creation than anything based on reality or logical thinking. Side characters were pretty good. The boyfriend (Yousef Abu-Taleb) at the end stole the movie for me and felt like the only real character in entire story. Parole officer (Hank Azaria) was good, his intro scene playing the role of a no non-sense tough cop was over the top. The deputy (Fred Weller) was even more over the top, but felt more in-line with the spiteful, I am the law, kinda persona a cop on a power-trip gives off. Entire time watching, felt like a different take on Body Heat. Want to again mention weird transitions - if the director.(Neil. LaBute) reads this, what are you doing??

Absolutely predictable, not one surprise, or novel idea from start to finish. You could call some of it foreshadowing, I suppose, but that would give the screenwriting far more credit than it deserves. Hard to believe that even one 'named' actor signed up to be part of this movie and the horribly obvious faux-plot that it pretends is worthy of your time, attention and electricity to suffer though. Do yourself a favor, and watch just about anything else you can, and skip this one. This is probably obvious from the above, but I'd be horribly surprised if this didn't get nominated for multiple razzies. If not, the diner scene, and the "I can sit here all day with my **** down your throat" scene alone should get a writer a good, old-fashioned tarring and feathering.
