Equinox (1992 R)

   The movie stars Mathew Modine (Pacific Heights, And the Band Played On TV), Laura Flynn Boyle (The Rookie, The Practice TV), Tyra Ferrell (White Men Cant Jump), Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinnie, The Wrestler), Tate Donovan (Get Well Soon) and Kevin J O'Connor (No Escape, Peggy Sue Got Married).
   The plot of this movie revolves around two very diffrent twins who were seperated at birth.  One a mobster the other a slow witted mechanic.  In the background of the plot there is a $4 million trust fund but that reall ydoes not factor in the movie.  The description of the movie I think was written by someone who saw an earler cut of the movie or did not see the movie, there was a glaring mistake on the plot summary on Netflix.
   The characters were one dimentional.  It was stated by a character that the characters are broken.  This is true about the Boyle (maybe the only good performance in the movie), and the car mechanic Modine character.  Boyles character is interisting I dont know what it is thats interisting but she is.  The first half of the movie there did not seem to have a plot at all  The last 45 minutes got better.  I am on the fence of about the movie.  I was all ready to give the movie a bad grade.  The plot started so bad and got a little better so I am really on the fence about how to rate this movie.
   I will rate this movie as a C-,D.  After thinking about it I would say pass but might see how some might like it.
