This and Rudolph's "Trouble in Mind" seem, to me, to be companion pieces. They both take place in a future that serves to create a mood around the characters rather than spectacle for the audience. They seem to be almost completely forgotten with no DVDs on the cards, and that is a shame since they are both terrific.Equinox contains great work from Matthew Modine, Lara Flynn Boyle and Kevin J. O'Connor in particular, but this is a quality production from top to bottom. The twin storyline threatens to drag this into the trash but the script dodges a lot of the tiresome clichés that you would expect from reading the synopsis or tag line. Please ignore the poor rating and bad reviews on IMDb. This one has been severely overlooked.
This is probably the worst movie I ever saw. I lost 1 and a half hour of my precious Sunday night to watch a trail of elements which had either no connection at all between them, or they had a connection was SO loose that you had to imagine them to find out a meaning. Additionally, the atmosphere is completely neutral, the dialogs annoyingly basic, and the end implies that the main character of the movie is of limited intellectual ability. I wonder how can anyone like this thing. OK, we had enough of silly Hollywood blockbusters, but on the other hand, we had enough of wannabes who try to promote their lack of inspiration as innovativeness, destined to be liked only by superior minds. For hell's sake, there must be a million better movies out there and if you want vague scenarios, go watch the "Lost Highway" or the "Space Odyssey". You don't need to go through this movie's mind torture!
1st watched 9/10/1998 - 5 out of 10(Dir-Alan Rudolph): Strange tale of twin brothers going their separate ways after being adopted. The film leaves too many questions unanswered and finishes so abruptly that it seems to have been cut short in production. A longer and complete story could have been better.
I almost switched this picture off, because the stylish character of the delivery seemed a bit too pushed, and I did not feel that I was getting any sense that the plot was going anywhere. But stay with it, it turns out to be a satisfying, well-fashioned film. Later on, it seems to roll more comfortably, either because one gets accustomed to the stylish form, or because that aspect of it gets toned down somewhat.
