Description

The film is about a former child star who still can't accept that his one film is likely to be the last he ever starred in. He drives around in a car that's one big ad for himself and occasionally makes the local news with some freak incident. When the film starts he has just burned down his trailer and caused a traffic jam. He then hits the road with a DV cam to capture real life. A friend promised him he could sell such material to an Italian TV station. When he meets a famous singer on the way and gets drawn into her story things get interesting.

    "Promised Land" is based upon a true story, but it just isn't a particularly interesting enough one. It is truly nothing more than a sober and uninspiring recounting of the facts and at least the film makers have produced a serious minded dramatisation of some real events without succumbing to the temptation of somehow making it into a popcorn movie and insulting everyone involved in the incident being depicted. It is also hampered by the fact the running time is principally preoccupied with Danny and Beverly's 400 mile drive back to Danny's hometown of Ashville and you are certainly made to suffer through every single uneventful mile of this belaboured and particularly tedious journey which has been beautifully and lovingly filmed, although much like the rest of it you frequently find your patience being tested to the absolute breaking point.
