Shadows in the Sun (2005)

To me, this movie is perfection.

How sad is this?

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I started viewing this movie because of Toscana, Italy, I wasn't less than amazed by the beauty of its landscapes and sunset but I had a little bit of sour thing at the end, it wasn't what I was expecting, I even thought that the movie wasn't finished until I saw the credit. As I said is good for lunch time when you don't have nothing else to see.

The score given to this film on IMDb almost discouraged me from seeing it, but I knew Claire Forlani would put on a great performance. I wasn't disappointed.Like many other reviewers have pointed out, this movie lacks explosions and world-saving heroes, big bad conspiracies or someone with terminal illnesses. But it's honest and warm.I wish Forlani would be given more lead roles. She has one of the most expressive faces in Hollywood - count the number of scenes where she doesn't speak a word. (Unfortunately, in last year's Carolina Moon she appeared to have caught the contagious Hollywood disease of anorexia.) Harvey Keitel seems relaxed and comfortable despite - or perhaps because of - this being an atypical role. He played it perfectly.Joshua Jackson was probably weakest, partly because I felt his character wasn't as filled out as it could have been. Having "killed off" his family back in London and giving him a job with poor prospects, it seemed too easy to make him stay in Tuscany. The movie was about Keitel, though, so the producer or director probably didn't want to clutter it with too much going on. Jackson did the job though and supported by a talented cast, it was more than enough.Not a movie to watch if you want to be thrilled or scared or interested in the lives of celebrities, but a good weekend afternoon experience it was for me.

This movie was bad. The only plus side was some nice scenery. The acting was bad, the script was mush and my ability to relate to the characters was nonexistent. I would invite the world to track my down and kick my square in the balls if I am ever rich, living on winery, have great kids and am banging some Italian broad, to kick me square in the nuts if I claim to have problems. I hate movies where I can only dream of having problems like the main characters. Watching this film was like trying to drink a bottle of syrup. Except when you drink a bottle of syrup you feel better after you vomit. I would only suggest you watch this film if your looped out of your mind on Codeine and muscle relaxants and have no ability to change the film.

I loved this film from the start, Keitel is wonderful as always, the rest of the cast is well played, the film is great if you a big fan of Harvey Keitel, the rest of the cast of just a good comedy! But some may find it boring. Frankly I loved the film!!! If you like Harvey Keitel this may be a good movie to watch for you, some parts of this film is not family scenes, so if you'd like to watch a nice happy family movie with nothing bad and no adult language this might not be the best movie to gather your kids around the television to watch. This film does contain some adult situations that might not be suitable for some peoples children, I do think this is a wonderful film but some may not like it.
