Powder Blue: Critic Reviews

A movie full of egregiously overdramatic stupidities.

Another Los Angeles-set multistrand drama "Crash"-es and burns.

Patrick Swayze's final feature film role as Wild Velvet strip club boss Velvet Larry is a flamboyant extravaganza

A serendipitous erotic thriller reminiscent of Crash in the way that lots of Angelenos' lives intersect serendipitously, except that here the characters have a seedy strip club in common instead of car accidents.

They seem to be real and they are certainly spectacular--too bad that one can't say the same for the film featuring them.

an embarrassing display of directorial exploitation and a waste of acting goodwill.

It's not likely [Biel] is comfortable with her nude scenes (which are neither lengthy nor discreet) being used as a selling point, but Bui fails to provide much else worth discussing.

Few will remember Powder Blue as a desperate copy job of Paul Thomas Anderson's brilliant Magnolia but rather as the film where Jessica Biel finally took it all off.
