Does this film have a curse on it?

No curse...people die. Phoenix was killing himself for awhile. If there was a curse, Harris, Bates and all the other stars would have died shortly after him. Instead, Harris and Bates each died of complications of being old.

Every actor is going to have their last film. So I suppose this makes for many cursed films. Harris and Bates have both lived long lives and old people do tend to die I hear. As far as River goes, narcotics have a high risk as well as a high reward. As for the film being underrated, I would agree. I have just seen it on IFC and liked it and wanted to see the rating because my low self esteem needs the affirmation of others. A 3.4 is typically an awful movie. No element of the film even deserves such a score. It doesn't have a lot of ratings and maybe a number of people watched it who should stick to more commercial fair. People who would give this a 1 or 2 should not stray from the flock in the future and should follow the other sheep to the movies and watch what they watch so as not to be confused and traumatized by something a little on the creative side. After that run on I will now run on.

Now the probability of two Mikes responding to this forum within a minute of each other with the same opinion is the mark of some curse or maybe just a coincidence. Although coincidences are much more boring than curses and portents.

Actually, the last movie River completed before he died was "The Thing Called Love". "Silent Tongue" had been shot over a year before, sometime in 1992. So much for that curse.

Pheonix was in his film - SNEAKERS
Bates was in his film too - THE SUM OF ALL FEARS

I could say it was Phil Alden Robinson's curse ?
