360 is a film about several people from different backgrounds who are all simultaneously going through a complicated time. They've all reached a crossroads; a time when they need to decide which way they want to proceed in life. This is one of those films with a pretty large cast, as there are several different story lines going at once. The film jumps around form location to location a bit, going from Vienna to Paris to London to Colorado then back to Paris and Vienna. Throughout the film all of these stories become intertwined or, at the very least, loosely connected.
In Vienna, a woman who has recently joined an escort service is given her first client, a businessman named Michael (played by Jude Law). Micheal is married to a woman named Rose (played by Rachel Weisz) who unbeknownst to him is having an affair with a man in London. That guy soon finds out that his girlfriend Laura (played by Maria Flor) has discovered the affair and left town. While on a flight out of London, Laura befriends an older man named John (played by Anthony Hopkins) who will later inspire a woman named Valentina to leave her husband... and these sort of connections keep going on and on and eventually all lead back to where the film started.
The film is well shot, and pretty well acted. The major flaw is that you have all these stories going on but, for the most part, none of them are particularly interesting. There are some good moments in the film but, the whole thing overall is a little dull and probably could've been cut down by 15-20mins.
I give this one a 2 out of 5.
Have a suggestion for a review?
