Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Set in Montana's Big Sky country, shot in Utah, lensed by Eric Alan Edwards (cinematographer of My Own Private Idaho)--no wonder it's hard to tell where Clay Pigeons lives, or where it's going. A Ridley Scott protégé previously at home in commercials and videos, debuting director David Dobkin aims to deliver us into the blackly comedic badlands of neo-noir, territory mined by the likes of Red Rock West and Fargo. Pigeons launches strongly, with several cruel turns of the screw. Out target-shooting, Clay Birdwell (Joaquin Phoenix) is hit with the news that his best pal knows he's been boffing his ur-slut wife (Georgina Cates) and could take Clay out on the spot, but chooses a creepier revenge--committing suicide in order to frame the guy who's cuckolded him. Naturally, Clay covers up the mess, thereby opening the film's can of very nasty worms. A slick, fast-talking cowboy (Vince Vaughn)--the funhouse-mirror-opposite of Phoenix's sweet, slow farmboy--turns up, and a string of ugly murders begins to play out. Once Vaughn's Lester Long is on the scene, spreading his psychotically giggling bonhomie, Dobkin's skin-deep riff on Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train pretty much belongs to him. The rest of the cast looks more or less like clay pigeons set up by a scattershot script: exceptions include the always-estimable Scott Wilson who transforms his caricature-prone Sheriff Mooney into a character of nuanced humanity, and Janeane Garofalo, as an urban-hip FBI agent, whose single-chick sarcasm goes down in flames when Lester unholsters those big guns of come-hither charm. John Lurie of Lounge Lizards fame contributes a distinctive score, but Elvis Presley acts as the film's patron saint in more ways than one: Clay Pigeons' sexiest, scariest wet work is choreographed to "It's Now or Never." --Kathleen Murphy Average Rating:
 Rating:  - CLAY PIGEONSPENTY OF SUSPENCEFUL ACTION. GOOD HUMOR. HARD TO TELL AT FIRST WHERE THE MANY SIDE STORIES ARE GOING BUT ITS ENTERTAINING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Rating:  - Friggin brilliant. Discovering Clay Pigeons was to me like discovering a stock certificate in my grandfather's attic and realizing it's worth some serious cash. Well, maybe not to that extent, but along the same lines. PLOT: Clay Bidwell (Phoenix) is having a rough week. The dead body of one of his former girlfriends in found in a local lake, and a floozy he once hooked-up with is found stabbed repeatedly in her home on the outskirts of town. Everyone is suspecting Clay except for a amicable fella named ... Read More Rating: - Clay PigeonsFirst movie I actually liked Joaquin Phoenix. He plays this guy with mixed up morals who then gets involved with people even more mixed up than him. Everything just spirals into a huge mess for Joaquin's character. Pokes fun at small-town life but not in a false manner. Good dark comedy. Rating: - Great performances...I thought the cast was pretty much perfect and their performances were great. I just didn't think the story was very orginal and it was too easy to guess what was going to happen next. Still, I enjoyed it and would recommend it, although it was really nothing special or exciting. Rating: - Great showThis was a great show. Vince Vaughn does a spectacular job in his part. Very funny and twisted movie. Browse for similar items by category:
