It was written and directed by Timothy Linh Bui, and features Patrick Swayze's last film role before his death in September that year. The film saw only limited theatrical release in the United States and was ultimately released principally on DVD in May 2009. The film was subsequently released in Kazakhstan and Russia and on US cable television premium movie channels in late 2009. SynopsisSeveral Los Angeles residents meet on Christmas Eve through chance, tragedy, loss and divine intervention. Velvet Larry is the head of a corporate crime organization. He owns a sleazy strip club where Rose-Johnny, a single mother whose young son is in a coma, dances. Qwerty Doolittle is a young mortician who falls in love with her. Velvet Larry tries to convince Jack Doheny, his former employee, not to seek vengeance on his co-workers. Doheny later reveals to Rose-Johnny that he is her father. Charlie is a suicidal ex-priest. Lexus is a pre-op trans woman prostitute who shares an unexpected emotional bond with the priest.[2] CastThe cast includes the following:[3]
ReceptionAccording to Variety magazine, "the heartstring-pulling contrivances of the film, set during Christmastime, go way over the top... Biel often overacts even more than her role requires."[4] The magazine calls director Bui's "trumpeting of the power of love in the city of lonely hearts ... both ear-splittingly loud and tone-deaf at the same time" with "Jonathan Sela's color palette of nightmarish reds and blues and blinding whites, simply enforc[ing] the pic's borderline hysteria." Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 25% rating from eight critic reviews with an average rating of 3.7 out of 10."[5]References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032819/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf#releases|title=Powder Blue (2009) - Release Info|publisher=Internet Movie Database|accessdate=2019-01-01}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032819/plotsummary|title=Powder Blue (2009) - Plot summary|publisher=Internet Movie Database|accessdate=2019-01-01}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032819/fullcredits#cast|title=Powder Blue (2009) - Full cast and crew|publisher=Internet Movie Database|accessdate=2019-01-01}} 4. ^{{cite news| url= http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117940219.html | title= Powder Blue | publisher= Variety | date= May 8, 2009 | accessdate= 2010-03-01 | first=Melissa | last=Anderson}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10008687_powder_blue/|title=Powder Blue | work = Rotten Tomatoes | publisher = Flixster |accessdate=Feb 17, 2017}} External links
