10 Items or Less

10 Items or Less

Who's in it: Morgan Freeman, Paz Vega

What's it about: A man referred to as Him(Freeman) shows up in the small town of Carson. He's studying the people of Archie's Ranch Market in order to play a role in an upcoming movie. He meets one of the store clerks, Scarlet(Vega), who is Hispanic. When a ride never comes for Him, Scarlet offers him one but has to take him to her job interview beforehand. The two become very acquainted and let each other in on every aspect of their lives. Him and Scarlet try to make her life a little bit easier by finishing some quarrels and allowing her to live the life she always wanted.

What I Think: This was quite the good film despite what I was expecting. It's not a very well known movie to the public. Freeman was wonderful, but I love him in everything. Vega did very well as her role of Scarlet. One of my favourite things about this movie was that Morgan Freeman's character didn't have a name. I just figured that he played himself in the movie. One thing that was really awful about the movie was that the time spent was insanely improbable. I don't think that the time was thought through very well at all. It seemed like they were going on for days, but the two were actually only together a few short hours during the movie.
