Gloria Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Sidney Lumet
Genres: Drama, Crime
Rating:
Director Sidney_Lumet has remade the 1980 movie by his contemporary, John_Cassavetes, casting Sharon_Stone in the role of Gloria (portrayed in the original by Cassavetes' wife, Gena_Rowlands), a street-toughened woman sliding into middle age. When the neighbors are murdered by a group of mobsters, one of which is a former boyfriend, Gloria takes the couple's seven-year-old son (Jean-Luke Figueroa) on the run. In time, she learns why the boy's parents were killed, and maybe just a little about herself. Sidney_Lumet, director of '70s classics Network and Dog_Day_Afternoon, focuses more on the relationship between Gloria and the boy than did the original. Coincidentally, this would make the film very similar to the Brazilian Central_Station, released at virtually the same time. Ron Wells, Rovi
