Insignificant things like "story" and "plot" escape me when I see Olivia Wilde disrobe. It's just one of those weird things, I guess. Alas, we'll power through this together. THIRD PERSON is Paul Haggis' (CRASH, IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH) latest opus and tells the love stories of three couples in three different cities. One of those said couples is Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde. Age gap? Sure, but when you're capable of kicking so much ass, every now and again you've got to tap it (too late to throw that up on the theatrical poster?).
See if Liam Neeson's got game here:
I was not a fan of CRASH myself, and the little I've seen of this film looks pretty stilted (at least between Neeson and Wilde). Our own Chris Bumbray didn't have many great things to say about it at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. I'm guessing the marketing guys decided to a release a clip to garner some attention before its limited release. If I was a betting man, I'd say this movie will fade into obscurity. As a bonus though, go ahead and imagine the roles switched in the above clip for instant comedy gold.
THIRD PERSON, starring Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Mila Kunis, Adrien Brody, Maria Bello, Casey Affleck and Kim Basinger, will see a limited release on June 20, 2014.
