Film Review: Disappointing ‘Puncture’ With Chris Evans Doesn’t Stick
Submitted by BrianTT on October 7, 2011 - 12:33pm Rating: 2.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – There’s something about “Puncture” that feels like it should work. It’s easy to see why someone thought this true tale of a troubled man who realizes he has been presented with immense responsibility would make an engaging film, but the fact is that having an interesting true story doesn’t always translate to riveting drama. Despite the interesting facts of the legal and personal drama at its core, “Puncture” is surprisingly flat (no pun intended) and, even with a very-good lead performance, isn’t memorable enough to recommend.
