I can't really explain why Mr. Christopher Walken took part in this project of the young director Myles Connell. What could have he gain from this low-budget/evanescent/artistically low-rate film? Mysteries of life.
"The Opportunists" doesn't show any points of interest or clues for the viewer. Slow, boring and rarely exciting story of robbery. No weapons, no blood, no action: strange for a film about an ex-thief dealing with lots of debts and forced back to robbery and crime.
No particular lines to remember, no great performances, no starving acting.
Flat. Everything is terribly flat and boring. Cindy Lauper is quite nice... although her character isn't so strong, she delivers a good job for a non-actress. Christopher Walken is clearly far from his best. And that's because the whole story is a lack of time and maybe he's argued about it. Sorry about it Mr. Walken. 5/10
