the HERALD Wednesday August 1991 Entertainment PageUB Movie Review Identity crisis plagues Kathleen Turner vehicle By JACKSON Herald Special Kathleen Turner is VI War shawski investigator ana tough lady in lifestyle and lingo She can hold her own against Chicago thugs and still have time for a bubble bath and a lover V I be reviewed on two levels the feminist one in which it falls flat and the enjoyment one in which it sometimes succeeds and sometimes fails It took three writers to transfer the novel heroine to the screen but her character is too paradox ical to be the really good role feminist role model that I m sure she is intended to be Neither V I nor the film fulfill my ideals of a Halton Cable updates Viewers with stereo TV sets will find a new dimension added to their

has to love wearing high heels and have a hidden compas sion for children to reassure us that she is still feminine other wise shed be a guy right No one likes a wise ass and the first half of the film which in takes too long ting both plot and character car this tone to the max And the men in this movie don fare well at all it t help the humanist cause any by portray men just as badly as women usually are portrayed in a Hollywood film it simply reversing the stereotype The men in VI are one or more of the following cruel shallow womaniz unfaithful unpleasant violent and easily fooled by a woman in a lowcut dress The one possible exception is Bernard Boom Boom Grafalk of the Chicago Blackhawks and he gets killed off in the first minutes His daughter Kat played by Angela Goethals hires Warshawski to find out who murdered Boom Boom Kat is Warshawski in miniature right down to the no- words bamed verbal expression They make a good team and have a battling camaraderie that is often
