Featured review
Walken is sublime in otherwise atypical crime drama
THE OPPORTUNISTS (2000) ** Christopher Walken, Peter McDonald, Cyndi Lauper, Vera Farmiga, Donal Logue, Jose
Zuniga, Tom Noonan, Anne Pitoniak. Walken gives another of his
patented sublime performances in this somewhat stilted and
standard `last heist' crime drama as a ne'er do well auto
mechanic in Queens lured back into the fray by a self-proclaimed
distant relative (McDonald, who has no screen presence
whatsoever) from Ireland. Lauper acquits herself as Walken's
long-suffering girlfriend. (Dir: Myles Connell)
