Closer | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Closer takes the traditional notion of romance and attempts to batter it into submission, mostly through the constant application of swear words.

The heart isn't a fist any more than the hand is a foot, and anyway there's no fist so tight that doesn't unfold into an open hand sometime. The movie is like a comedy someone dipped in a solvent.

Searing story of betrayal isn't for kids.

Closer is no joke and it's got the brave, mature performances of an all-star cast to prove it. It's a movie in which characters feel each other up with their hands and knock each other down with words.

With a better script, Closer could have been compelling romantic drama; instead, it's little more than clichéd nonsense.
