"Another warmed-up Tarantino clone." (Average)
What the world doesn’t need is another heist/caper movie – a genre that was jumpstarted courtesy of RESERVOIR DOGS eight long years ago and has been done to death ad nauseum since then.Thankfully THE OPPORTUNISTS only skirts the edges of being a heist movie and instead winds up being a more thoughtful character piece about everyday people trapped in nowhere lives trying to get by. Although a nice portrait, with some unconventional twists and turns, writer/director Myles Connell never manages to elevate the film into something truly special hindered by a low-key subject matter that’s too low-key by most indie film standards.Christopher Walken gives an understated and touching performance as a former criminal Victor Kelly. He’s reformed his bad ways and lives in Queens, New York trying to get by running a small auto shop. However, he never truly gets a break and because of that he is always behind in his bills. His debt is catching up to him so fast that the appearance of Michael (Peter McDonald) almost seems like an angel in disguise – someone that might break Vic out of his shell. Claiming to be a cousin from Ireland, Vic allows Michael into his home only to find the young man hooking up with a couple of local shysters Pat and Jesus (Donal Logue, Jose Zuniga) who have a sure-fire scam to get everyone rich. It will involve a small heist – but since Pat and Jesus are security guards where the money is, it should be a piece of cake with a little help from Vic of course.Where the film takes a decidedly refreshing detour is focusing on Vic’s down-and-out life and the quirky cast of characters around him. The strongest moments come from the all-too-brief exchanges between singer Cyndi Lauper as his girlfriend/bar owner Sally who wants to help Vic out even though he’s too proud to accept anything from her. Lauper, who starred in the misfired VIBES many a moon ago and redeemed herself with her Emmy-award winning turns on TV’s MAD ABOUT YOU, is a natural in front of the camera. Her New York accent complements the Queen’s setting perfectly and her demeanor (usually told with a simple glare from her eyes) makes for a nice match with Walken who is the king of understatement.Logue and Zuniga make a nice combination, but their roles are all-too-familiar in this kind of movie (the bumblers who ruin the operation for everyone). Moments also arise out of an unusual pairing of McDonald’s Michael and Vic’s daughter Miriam (Vera Farmiga) who takes a liking to her supposed Irish cousin.THE OPPORTUNISTS is the feature debut for Connell and shows his sly skill with actors while bringing out nuanced moments, but storytelling is another thing. Character movies are only as good as the incidents surrounding them and there’s nothing that truly stands out as innovative or frankly original during the film’s duration.It tries hard to avoid conventions, but once it does that, there’s not much left holding the film together. Fine performances and isolated moments alone are not enough which makes Connell’s debut a missed opportunity in all respects. -- Anthony C. Ferrante
