HE WAS A QUIET MAN is the name of a new film starring Christian Slater, Elisha Cuthbert, and William H. Macy, and it apparently screened at Cannes and a whole bunch of other festivals, but I haven’t heard of it until today. Here’s the synopsis courtesy of Movieweb:
Bob Maconel (Christian Slater) is about to have a bad day. Another eight hours of sitting in a dull grey cubicle, ignored by his co-workers, existing in a world where he feels completely out of sync. On this particular bad day Bob crosses the line from potential killer to inadvertent hero and in the process saves Venessa’s (Elisha Cuthbert) life. This invisible nobody saves the object of his desire only to have her ask him to end her life.
If that doesn’t make much sense to you, or leaves your mind a little muddled, watch the trailer to help you out a little. The movie looks loaded with potential, and it’s nice to see that Slater has embraced his status as former sex-symbol, and is trying to steady his career with some real acting, instead of making things like ALONE IN THE DARK. Plus anytime you have Elisha Cuthbert as a co-star instead of Tara Reid, it’s always a little bit of a plus. And by a little bit I mean a lot. Check out the trailer BELOW. Thanks to Jason for the heads up.
