Swingers

The peculiar fast pace, characteristic of director Doug Liman, does not quite fit into the concept of the story about searching for lost love from the beginning to the end. However, the atmosphere of wild bar parties, where the main character decides to drown his sorrows with the help of "sympathetic" friends, cannot be stopped, and so we can only watch as the plot starts rapidly unfolding (although it's true that not much happens upon final reflection), the actors begin to shine – Vince Vaughn, the talkative guy with a glass in hand, excels, and the viewer is fully sucked into the movie, for which we can only thank the director. The handheld camera (held by Liman himself), fast editing, and good scene direction, although lacking a bit of precision, ensure that the one hundred minutes pass by at a pleasant pace. It's really strange that you can talk about love without romantic sweetness. PS: Only after certain life experiences can one fully appreciate this magnificent work! (12/11/2005)
