p 10 the tribune thursday october 30 1997 su life turns out to be fairly ordinary after all l u u given the uniquely twisted cinematic vision british director danny boyle has demonstrated with his two previous films shallow grave and trainspotting you wouldnt think hed be capable of making a routine romantic dark comedy and while a life less ordinary is hardly rou tine by hollywood standards doyles first film for a major studio contains far less of the dysfopic mayhem weve come to expect from his work ewan mcgre gor stars as a disgruntled office cleaner and wouldbe trash novelist who kidnaps the

with her life and seeking a thrill becomes his accom plice the two set out to bilk her father for millions of dollars in order to start life anew what starts out as a pretty straight forward caper turns into a surreal bon nie and clydestyle gangster romance with the introduction of a number of oddball characters canadian character actor maury chaykin being one of the more interesting what you dont know however is that the two havent come together by accident its been a painstaking chore orchestrated by two angels holly hunter and delroy lindo working on gods orders to repair the dismal state of affairs in the marriage department if this sounds silly its because it is the angel angle was probably seen as a way to give the film a offbeat edge and show that hey its not really a typ ical hollywood movie after all but for whatever reason boyle and writer john hodge seem to have dulled much of the films potential edge to make it more palatable to the masses shallow grave and trainspotting were hits in very limited circles and you can bet that 20th century fox wasnt look ing for an obscure art house classic out of the team now its probably not fair to dismiss the film simply because its not what we expect it to be but it is fair to be disappointed that a director who has shown so much promise with his previ ous outings has either willingly or forcefully been coopted by hollywood convention and thats unfortunate because there was an opportunity here to give hollywood a real kick in the pants and perhaps be the catalyst for entertainment more adventurous filmmaking from the studios a life less ordinary is an enjoyable film but its not the revolutionary piece it could or should have been gattaca a mixed bag with the recent revelation that cloning is currently underway the tim ing for the release of gattaca couldnt be better ethan hawke and uma thurman star as forbidden lovers in a sanitized george orwell meets ayn rand near- future where destinies are pre-deter- mined through science and naturally- born children are considered imperfect outcasts hawke is one of those misfits who has acquired the identity of a geneti cally superior individual and secured a job as a rocket scientist his dream to fly into space is put at risk though when he becomes the suspect in a mur der case that threatens to reveal his true identity gattaca sets itself up as some kind of deep philosophical film about the power of the individual to conquer allblah blah blah but its message is mixed if the indi vidual is all powerful why does hawkes character so long to be accepted as one of the crowd making an ambitious debut as a writerdirector new zealand native andrew niccol knows how to set a mood and paint a pretty picture but he has trouble fleshing out the story the film looks great and the acting is adequate but it would have been nice to see all of this put toward something more substantial 3 days only psychic i clairvoyance h
