Mini’s First Time (2006)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425253/
Don’t believe IMDB’s tags: this is not a comedy and this is not an easy movie. Indeed, I was expecting to have some fun, but the few moments when Mini could have made me laugh, were so rough with bad language and low attitudes, that the high spirits vanished.
Nevertheless, instead of a comedy, Mini does deliver an effective, dark, femme fatale flick.
Mini is a young woman who’ll end up plotting incredibly despicable actions. If the character really existed, she should be jailed for life. Yes, there is murder in the script. And the murder is the problem…
The first minutes try to convince the viewer, that the main character is a poor victim of her parents and society in general. The poor child has to drive a BMW Z-something, live in a modern architecture house with a swimming-pool, endure no money problems, and suffer the stress of a party-after-party life. I almost cryed.
For me, this was the movie’s cardinal flaw: I couldn’t sympathise with Mini (actress Nikki Reed).
Still, what follows, in the context of a murder movie, is effective.
My rating: 5/10
