A misfire from Chris Pine.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT You can tell a lot about an actor’s vision based on his first feature film. Most debut their work with a definitive style while others concentrate on telling a proper story. But every so often, there comes a first-time director whose work makes very little sense due to poor execution. Unfortunately, the latest to fall in this category is Chris Pine’s Poolman.
Somewhere along the way, this hopeless, dopey fella lets his anger get the best of him, which lands D.B. in jail. To his surprise, and like many classic noir films, a mysterious and enticing dame named June Del Rey bails him out of jail with information that sounds like music to D.B.’s conspiracy-attuned ears. Together, the two begin to connect the dots, unraveling Van Patterson’s plan to use the city’s water supply to furbish his own business adventures.
The saving grace of Pine’s debut is the committed cast. It is clear that Pine went into the role with great intentions to explore a character with a short attention span, high anxiety, and a heart of gold. These three attributes alone make a compelling character no matter what the plot is. But storytelling does matter.
