0So guess ho actually started again the Alan Rickman project after a year and so :)
So this movie was pretty fun to watch :) It is callde The january man and it is an adventure film. Alan played only for 15 minutes so this is why this video is so small :P I loved his character. he was pretty funny :) The critics weren't very good as you can see if you keep reading the description but I liked the movie so who cares about the critics? :P
So the plot:
The January Man is a 1989 comedy/thriller film, directed by Pat O'Connor from a screenplay by John Patrick Shanley.[1][2]
The film stars Kevin Kline as Nick Starkey, a smart ex-New York City police detective who is lured back into service by his police commissioner brother (Harvey Keitel) when a serial killer terrorizes the city. Nick becomes involved with the mayor's daughter (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and is aided in his investigation by his neighbor, an artist played by Alan Rickman.
The movie received negative reviews from critics. Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "one of the worst movies of all time," writing: "The January Man is worth study as a film that fails to find its tone. It's all over the map. It wants to be zany but violent, satirical but slapstick, romantic but cynical. It wants some of its actors to rant and rave like amateur tragedians, and others to reach for subtle nuances. And it wants all of these things to happen at the same time."[3] Rita Kempley of The Washington Post was even more harsh, writing, "Eliot called April the cruelest month, but then he hadn't seen The January Man. Billed as a mystery with romance and comedy, it is a damp sock of a movie that makes you wish for a leap year".
The film's box-office gross (in the USA) was $4,611,062. It holds a 21% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
