Catchfire (1990)

Presumably when watching an Alan Smithee film, you have already been forewarned. It’s entirely possible I watched the non-disavowed version, but if I did, it should have also been disavowed. Jodie Foster plays a woman who witnesses a mob hit who later bizarrely falls in love with the hitman hired to take her out. Some of that may be spoilers, but it doesn’t even matter. Jodie Foster is the best part of this, looking really beautiful and occasionally acting so as well, but the writing for her character is often beyond ridiculous particularly as Dennis Hopper closes in on her. Brief appearances by Catherine Keener, Charlie Sheen, Bob Dylan, and the amazing Vincent Price don’t even help this train wreck.
