Buffalo 66 (1998)reviewed by Brian "The Naked Gun" Felts
Billy Brown, played by Vincent Gallo (Truth or Consequences, NM,) spends the first 8 minutes of the movie
looking for a bathroom after getting released from prison and the next 70 being an a**hole. Gallo provides
no depth to this character and does nothing to make this character interesting. His whinny voice is
irritating after the third sentence and I had to turn the movie off several times. No talent ass clown.
Speaking of the no talent ass clown, Gallo also wrote and directed this. His writing skills are
poor at best and all of his character are either not believable or you don't care about them. His
directing style is also crappy. His overhead shots were inconsistent and his first person shots
are boring and combine that with the writing its painful to watch. The scene at the bowling alley
was particularly bad. What was the point of Ricci dancing on the floor? Stupid.
Let me ask the women reading this, if a guy kidnaps you and threatens your life if you don't pretend
to be his girlfriend, would you try to scream for help and run away, or would you fall in love with
this incredible large loser and want to be with him? That's what I thought. Christina Ricci did not
help her career by doing this movie and she should be thankful that only Coffee House losers like this
movie.
I will not speak anymore of this movie, it represents all that is wrong with Independent cinema. I now
must go and bathe in the purity that is George Lucas to cleanse myself of this brown stain that is
Vincent Gallo and his movie.
