I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I'm not a follower of Truman Capote's work or his life, and I haven't read any of his books. The closest I've ever gotten to any of his works was watching the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" which was based on Capote's novel of the same name. That said, the performances by the ensemble cast lift this movie from something I'd be inclined to stop in the first couple of minutes to a movie that held my interest. Capote's introduction in the movie by way of showing his social circle of friends is the hardest to get through. His voice is nasally, his friends are busy-bodies, and the sooner he and friend Nell Harper Lee (done very well by Sandra Bullock) get on the train to Kansas, the better. At 118 minutes, it may be a tad long, but the second half introduction of Daniel Craig as the intelligent one of the two killers whose crime drew Capote to Kansas breathes new life into the movie. Having seen "Casino Royale" first makes it difficult to accept him in the role, but his performance soon overtakes that reluctance. If you have passed over "Infamous" before, give it another look. You may be surprised. While it's not worth paying full price to see, it's definitely worth putting on your Netflix list. Looking for more opinions?Check out our Featured Movie Reviews for Infamous. |
