About this product

Product Information

Writer-director Mike Figgis's remarkably understated first feature concerns a young man named Brendan (Sean Bean) who becomes involved in the seedy underworld politics of small Newcastle, England. Brendan takes a job at a local nightclub run by a man named Finney (Sting); he also meets Kate (Melanie Griffith), a cocktail waitress. Both Finney and Kate are struggling with an American business tycoon called Frank Cosmo (Tommy Lee Jones), who is trying to develop Newcastle at the expense of local businesses. Brendan's only half-knowledgeable involvement, the role of coincidence in shaping the ensuing action, the woman with a past--all the elements of film noir are at play here, accompanied by darkly lit streets and the reds and blues of nightclub neon. Figgis indulges his taste for jazz as well; he scored the film, and a jazz band even figures in the story. Bean and Griffith are believably entwined, but the standout in the cast is Sting, whose soulful Englishness is perfectly counterpoised with Jones's brash American bravado. In fact, STORMY MONDAY's interest in English culture versus American culture is an appropriate beginning for a director whose career would continue on both sides of the Atlantic.

  • Good action film with good performances

    This is an older film starring Tommy Lee Jones, Sting, Melanie Griffith, and Sean Bean. In the interests of full disclosure, I should say I'd probably watch Sean Bean in *anything* -- and I have watched him in some seriously bad films. This one is good. There's tension, action, a bit of romance, some humour, and a really good soundtrack. It's not, particularly in the beginning, really fast paced, but for me that's not necessarily a negative because you're getting to know these people.

  • Interesting title

    Half way thru this movie it became all jumbled and stuck. I tried cleaning it, but it continues to happen. I have no idea how this story ends.
