Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

Biloxi Blues (1988)

Directed by Mike Nichols

Starring Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Matt Mulhern, Corey Parker

Author

It’s pretty obvious that it came from a play. Long takes, faggily theatrical acting, and dated/stunted dialogue, not much score, no montage, little camera movement. Just a collection of large, dialogue-driven scenes.

The young Broderick is good. Same appeal as in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
