Je re Its full of clichés and full of parody but the plot is not predictable... which makes this a passable, meandering, not-quite-sure-what-next film. There's some amusement here, but not enough.The two turn-offs: 1. Jolie and her allure are a big part of the movie... but she is mismatched with Aiello. A much older guy or gal is fine, so long as they still match in attractiveness. Aiello isn't handsome enough for there to be any plausibility with Jolie. The promiscuous kissing, particularly between those two, gets a yuk from me.2. The shootout scene where nobody can hit anybody and the garage guy doesn't have to take cover... is too extreme a parody in the context of the film. Taken to that extent of silliness in a movie like "Airplane", it might work. In this one it just knocked me out of the film... with mutterings or ridiculous... destroyed any suspension of disbelief... and had me deciding whether to find another DVD. I did persist - and had just about forgotten it by the end - but without that scene, the movie might climb a whole star.

insomniac_rod I caught "Mojave Moon" several times on cable but I didn't care about it. I even came to IMDb back in the late 90's and nobody commented about it. It was somehow a rare, obscure independent movie that gained notoriety when Jolie received her first (and only) Oscar. I caught it on a so called art channel.To be honest, it wasn't until Angelina Jolie made her on-screen appearance with the shortest mini skirt I've ever seen on movies! That girl was stunning.Then I got hooked in by the plot although it is very strange.The movie has the typical situations involving a trouble girl that gets everyone in problems and ends up making everybody fool.To be honest, if it wasn't for Jolie's sexyiness this movie would be still hidden.

FloatingOpera7 This movie is not that good. I watched it late at night on TV and it is a movie that definitely belongs on late night when mostly bad movies, obscure films are presented. It is one of those slow-paced movies that suffer of poor writing and a bad script. The Mojave desert is the setting and the premise is quite simple- a 50 yr old divorced man meets a sexy young woman (Angelina Jollie) who asks him to take her to her home in the desert. There he meets the girl's mother who is internally struggling with a bad marriage to a nasty man. The weird, Stepford Wife like mom is played quite over-the-top. The poor victim is lured into covering up a murder and it goes from there. The movie was really really bad, with cheesy dialog. It was made in 1996 and at this time Angelina Jollie was not quite yet a star. She would start to be noticed in Girl Interrupted and most famously in "Tomb Raider" followed by Beyond Borders and several other films. Angelina Jollie would also become famous for her changing lifestyle- from rebellious wild child to a humanitarian woman who worked in refugee camps and adopted an Asian boy and is thinking of adopting more children in the vein of Mia Farrow. This movie is only nice to watch for fans of Angelina Jollie who plays a close parody of her own personality at the time before she 'settled down". This is still a bad movie that could use some gloss and polish.

Angeneer The movie is strange but you come to like it. It has a Lynch atmosphere and it alternates between comedy and thriller (reminded me of Wild At Heart sometimes). This is the first film Angelina Jolie film I've seen. She's gorgeous! If I were Aiello I would definitely fall for her. Michael Biehn is extremely cool!
