ELEKTRA LUXX (2010) (a short review)

ELEKTRA LUXX (2010) (a short review)

Written/directed by Sebastian Gutierez (Gothika). It features an amazing cast with Carla Gugino (Sin City, Spy Kids) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Batman 3, Inception, 500 Days of Summer) and in smaller roles Emma Bell, Julianne Moore, Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Malin Akernam (Watchmen, 27 Dresses), Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, Red Dawn remake), Marley Shelton (Death Proof, Sin City, Scream 4), Josh Brolin (Milk, True Grit, Jonah Hex), Timothy Olyphant (I Am Number Four, Rango, Justified).

The story: a porn star's life is turned upside-down when she finds out she is pregnant.

Was it good?

No. It's one of those slice of life comedies without any real plot. Unfortunately, the bits aren't funny. I like these actors a lot, but watching them trying to make this unfunny, unfocused script work was painful.
