Tripfall (2000)
Good beginning, bad ending
Great acting by Eric Roberts (and okay with John Ritter, too) but everybody else is forgettable. It's got some genuine terror moments and makes you think twice about giving out personal information to strangers on vacation. However, the ending didn't really work for me. It was all too convenient and made to make John Ritter look like a hero and the cops to look incompetent. I caught it on TV late night, and that's where it should stay.
Flinch (1994)
Why do these kind of movies get made?
They wanted to make a movie about witnesses to a murder, some chases, a stupid cop, some sex, with the Hollywood ending. A plausible story with a flowing plot? Forget that. The characters had no reason for any of their behavior, the evil guy is far from diabolical, and the ending was just plain stupid.
The acting was horrible, but then, they didn't have much to work with. Judd Nelson's character was especially unbelievable. He's failed the bar exam so he can't be a lawyer, but come on, a law school graduate can't get a better job than a living mannequin?
The curse of insomnia is that there's absolutely nothing good on TV.
