'Never Die Alone' is without plot distinction Looks are everything in "Never Die Alone." Ernest Dickerson's film recycles a cinematic standby - it's narrated by a corpse, telling us how he got that way - but the movie's scuzzy beauty keeps it intriguing. "Never Die Alone" has the grainy, lurid look of a '70s cop show; all the speedy camerawork and acid-tinged primary colors make it the most visually distinctive movie of the year. |
