It might be pretty to look at, but for a film that relies so heavily on the mystery of the film noir genre, it fails to attract attention. The sad part is that the film is not interesting enough to keep your attention. It's very science fiction in parts and his quest for such a thing leads the the inevitable climax, which is right out of the film 2012. A subplot to the story is Chris Elliott's character, a billionaire reclusive who is looking for the God Particle. We are on the quest to find a woman and at some points during the film, we wonder is she even exists. The case itself isn't interesting enough. The character himself has zero relate-ability and is not interesting enough for a lead. His character is the classic film noir detective, minus the outfit.
So a good portion of the film is told in flashbacks from Ned's perspective. We meet Ned in an interrogation room where three cops are questioning him about the events that lead up to his current situation. The story on the other hand is enough to bore you out of the experience. All the colours of the spectrum are portrayed here and it's enough to grab your sense. Each room has it's own colour scheme, we go from green to yellow to red to purple. It succeeded on the latter portion, since the film is drenched is vibrant colours that wouldn't exist in a normal realistic setting.
Film Noir is one of my favourite genres and this flick looked promising and at the very least visually pleasing. The Big Bang is a film that promises much and delivers little. Is there more to this case than meets the eye? The short answer is no. Along the way Ned finds himself being followed and dead bodies turn up everywhere. He was stuck in prison and she kept his hope alive by writing to him. A giant man with anger issues who is looking for the love of his life, a sexy woman whom he's never met. Antonio Banderas stars as Ned, a detective who has just acquired a new client.
