OK, to be honest, I did not see this film, I never intend to see this film. For one thing, I was friends with the 2nd AD on the movie, and the scene you see in the previews where the boat jumps out of the water, plows through a boat-show crowd and up onto an incline of some kind, is the real-life scene of tragedy for one of the stunt-extras. Not to go into too much gory detail, but there was severing and instantaneous death involved. Just the fact that someone died for this cinematic bile is sad enough; to feature the SHOT THAT KILLED HER in the PREVIEW is disgusting.

Never mind the unappealing visions of a purse-lipped Joe Pesci (remember his Oscar win? I didn't think so.) muttering "Uh oh" as a train approaches their boat, stupidly parked on the tracks. Never mind the once action-hero-or-at-least-sidekick- but-at-least-he-was-in-The-Color-Purple Danny Glover slumming his way to payday. Those two must have some awfully expensive drug habits to maintain, to want to do this movie.

Now, you all may know I can always find something positive in a movie (except Silence of the Hams) and here is the positive point for Gone Fishin' based solely on the preview: This movie has some real daredevil stuntwork, camera work, and complicated action sequences that I am certain were incredibly difficult to pull off, and look almost as polished as a Jan de Bont sequence. I applaud the labors of the crew, I bow my head in respect for the deceased stunt woman's family, and I recommend you rent Goodfellas and The Color Purple to remember these guys before....the fishing trip.
