LOVE AND A .45
Directed by CM Talkingon; with Gil Bellows, Renee Zellweger, Peter Fonda,
Rory Cochrane, Jeffery Combs, Jace Alexander, and Michael Bowen
1995
nother
in a long line of lovers-on-the-lam movies (each one after Bonnie
and Clyde growing more violent and deranged than the next) Love
& a .45 is uncannily reminiscent of Oliver Stone's Natural Born
Killers. But trailer trash couple Watty (Bellows) and Starlene (Texas
actress Renee Zellweger) would definitely not want to meet Mickey and
Mallory in a dark alley, as this pair's more mild-mannered crime spree
consists of robbing convenient stores with unloaded weapons and trying
to avoid murdering people in cold blood. Actually, the film was completed
before(but released after NBK) and has plenty of violent scenes
of its own. Rory Cochrane plays an insanely scary villian with a shoddy
tattoo that covers his bald head entirely (the attached scene is a disturbing
one), and Peter Fonda has a cameo as an aging hippy who speaks through
a hole in his throat. The film was shot on location in East Texas where director
Talkington grew up.
