An intriguing, visually startling murder mystery that showcases the virtuosity of Samuel L. Jackson.
If anyone can sell the idea of ... some psycho "Sherlock Holmes," it's Samuel L. Jackson.
Deserves an A for ambition, but the final product is a pastiche of too many predecessors.
Dramatically speaking, The Caveman's Valentine is a dead end.
It may have a good liberal conscience, and genuine sympathy for the rare perspective of a homeless person, but this movie is a fundamentally sentimental exercise.
Valentine isn't exploitative or trendy in the manner of so many indie films. Rather, it seems like the kind of art film that might have been dreamed up by a feverish high schooler.
