7cb1d79195 A collection of characters threaten to cross paths, unknowingly, during a night in the big city. The film focuses on two hit men (Reynolds and Forsythe) who are bound to collide with Cates, a beautiful prostitute. Big City Blues was a failed experiment of a film that would later be repeated successfully in films like Boogie Nights and Crash. It&#39;s the story of five characters, two hit men, two drag queens and a prostitute who meet up in a deserted Miami mansion one fateful night.<br/><br/>The drag queens Giancarlo Esposito and Arye Gross are the most interesting of the quintet. Especially Esposito who is in a journey of transitioning, but not quite sure if she wants to complete the change. The names in the cast are the hit men, Burt Reynolds and William Forsythe who do their best, but are defeated by a lousy script and poor direction. I can see Reynolds was cast herehe was in Boogie Nights, but in that film there was a cohesionall the participants were involved in the pornography industry and were all interesting characters. <br/><br/>Georgina Cates is the prostitute and she&#39;s along for the ride, also defeated by poor direction. Her charactera hooker who aspires for something more could have been a lot better.<br/><br/>Crash is a film along the same lines and it was a Best Picture Oscar winner. Would this have turned outwell. OK, well to start off with, ya the movie had a lot of problems.<br/><br/>The lighting was almost embarrassing, the story was a little strange and somewhat hard to follow.<br/><br/>However, I still liked it.<br/><br/>To truly understand this movie, you have to have seen it a few times because every time you watch it you&#39;ll see something that you missed the last time. Once you understand everything that&#39;s going on, it&#39;s actually a very interesting movie. It&#39;s story is based around the fact that every decision you make will impact you in a huge way.<br/><br/>Not to mention the great acting! Reynolds and Forsythe were fantastic in this film.<br/><br/>To sum up. The acting was good, the story was charmingly creepy and damn funny.
