Viggo Mortensen in 28 Days
28 Days Cast and CrewViggo Mortensen: Eddie Boone Other leading roles: 28 Days SynopsisSandra Bullock stars as a woman in rehab struggling with substance abuse. Viggo Mortensen has a supporting role as a professional baseball player and fellow patient. 28 Days Brief ReviewIf you are only interested in "Viggo-sightings," you may be disappointed--Mortensen is billed second to Bullock in the credits, but his role is relatively small. Still the acting, directing and story are good and I enjoyed the film. 28 Days Soundtrack1.

Films of Viggo Mortensen: 28 Days - Two reviews of 28 Days, both of which question the realism and integrity of the film. "It is a comedy about a serious issue which is a travesty in itself that needs to be overlooked if to be enjoyed purely as entertainment."
Still they enjoyed Viggo as Eddie: "Sandra Bullock confessed that she kept making mistakes deliberately in a scene where she and Mortensen kiss so they had to run the scene again and again. The result is a picture perfect kissing scene in a film that often tests viewer suspension of disbelief and patience." MovieWeb: 28 Days - A dozen nice high-resolution still shots from the film plus basic background information. Unfortunately only one of the stills features Viggo Mortensen as "Eddie." Site includes movie discussion forum.
Rotten Tomatoes Reviews: 28 Days - A page of quotes from reviews with links to full text for some. Reviews range from "Sandra Bullock's best film in years -- perhaps even the best work she has ever done." to "A Lifetime Original Movie with naughty language." Small gallery of good-quality stills (links to trailers are broken).
28 Days Video ClipsApologies for the slight buzz on these; they were captured from a VHS tape which doesn't seem to agree with my equipment. I'll try to redo them later when I have the DVD but in the meantime they're not too bad I hope. 28d-01: Eddie arrives - Eddie Boone arrives at the rehab facility. He found Gwen lying on the ground outside the clinic and has carried her in with him. "You can't bring a girl into treatment with you, Eddie." "Wasn't goin' to keep her." (00'15, 436 KB)
28d-08: More than fine - Gwen is beating herself up over things she's done. Eddie: "Those are just things you've done, not who you are. People make mistakes, you know. Who you are is just fine. More than fine." (00'28, 552 KB)
28 Days Photo GalleryMost of the screen captures are from the Viggo Obsession or Sagra websites (see links above). Others are studio publicity photos that can be found in many sites around the net. In several cases I've color-corrected or improved brightness/contrast from the original download. |
