Sarah Jessica Parker was the only reason to watch this movie


Sarah Jessica Parker is the only reason to watch "Striking Distance.". Not because she was any good, but because people are interested to see her in the early stages of her career before "Sex and the City."

While she may have never been pretty, she was physically at her prime in this movie, which she filmed when she was 27 years old. She had a curvaceous body, smooth tanned legs, and a seamless face that actually looked halfway descent. There were barely any scenes of her in the film without a sports bra or a skirt two inches above her knees.

Her athletic frame was on full display during her love scene with Bruce Willis, which still manages to give me erections (very few people know these two had an on-screen romance together, which is remarkable considering they both have A-list movie star status).

There were countless action movies like this in Hollywood during the 90's. Willis epitomizes the role of the loose canon cop dodging bullets and explosions for 115 minutes all while managing to fit in a quickie with his attractive blond partner somewhere between start and finish. It's actually bad in a good way, the same kind of guilty pleasure you enjoy by watching cheesy porn films.

So if you're looking to be entertained, grab this at the neighborhood blockbuster, unplug your brain, and feel your IQ drop every time Bruce Willis opens his mouth to say something stupid, which is basically two hours non-stop.

That synopsis was as upbeat and honest as one can get about this pile of dreck.

Jake:

A movie starring Sarah Jessica Horseface? Every time I see her I feel the need to throw a saddle on her...

Rather throw a saddle on her than Bruce Willis or Dennis Farina

She had a banging body in this movie, and since this was before her surgery her face didn't look so horsesish.

Facially she was just average looking, but an average looking blond with a great body is actually smoking hot to a lot of guys, i.e. Paris Hilton.

Sarah still has smooth curves and nice legs, but the only way anyone's going ride her now is if they put a bag on her head.

With her bloodhound face and stiff as a board acting I expect Caesar Milan to show up,and give her a walk to the actors studio.

I gotta agree..she was actually pretty hot in this film. now thats shes post-Sex in the city, shes a nasty looking hag.

reply

nope, SJP is not the only reason to watch this movie. She`s one of the reasons and other reasons are the fact that it is a solid action movie and it features a great (but still unreleased) music score by Brad "Terminator" Fiedel.

Sarah Jessica Parker is the main reason not to watch the movie. I enjoyed the film but had to mark it down because of her ugly features & poor acting. All the victims seemed to be shapely goodlooking woman, so why would Bruce Willis be going after old skinny Horse Face. Made no sense.

reply

Actually the only reason to watch this movie is the fact that Brad "Terminator" Fiedel`s music from this movie is so great and it is unreleased.
