646f9e108c An actor discovers the dark side of private investigating when he takes on an assignment in rural Oregon with a crusty P.I.
Marty Mackenzie is an unsuccessful stage actor who takes an interest in private investigating. He takes a job working with Jack Potter, a crusty private eye. They both take a case in Beaver Ridge, a seedy small town where a murder is being planned against a rich gravel pit owner. Marty realizes that private investigating is not as it seemed to be.
'Camouflage' fails to deliver the goods. It pretty much has the required ingredients but the treatment is a let down. Not that I was expecting much other than a few laughters since it has Leslie Nielsen and Lochlyn Munro but the jokes fall flat and nothing the actors do can save that. The film sticks to the main plot most of the time but there are a few scattered plot holes and it is lacking in style and energy. The flat cinematography and poor soundtrack do nothing in its favour. It tends to drag most of the time. Of the cast, Lochlyn Munro stands out as he is the only one who breathes some life into the movie. Leslie Nielsen is let down by an underwritten role and appears more a caricature. Ditto with Vanessa Angel who isn't given much to do in the first place. Thus, there is no surprise in 'Camouflage'. It is just another half-baked wannabe comedy thriller.
I have always been a huge Leslie Nielsen fan. I loved Naked Gun and Police Squad. And the movie Dracula Dead and Loving it. There are so many great great movies that Leslie starred in. But I would definitely not recommend this movie. But this movie really discredited Leslie. It was not funny at all and He actually used such Foul language that I have never heard him use before, including the F word (several times) Again if you are a fan of Leslie as I am do not watch this movie or you will be greatly disappointed.It is definitely not a funny movie and there is a lot of sexual comments that children should be kept away from viewing this movie as well. Leslie what happened to your clean and funny humor?
