The performances are engaging, the supporting char- acters are allowed the space to become interesting, but we never really understand why Marianne and Darly have joined up together, we don’t know what they’re look- ing for, and we’re not sure they’ve found it. Rating: Two and a half stars.

While Satan trails them down Highway 61, the two meet strange people along the way, in a movie as engag- ing as it is finally insubstantial. Rating: Three stars. The Playboys (PG-13, 109 m., 1992) is set in 1957 in a small Irish village, where the beauty (Robin Wright) has borne a child out of wedlock and will not name the father. The constable (Albert Finney) stands eager to marry her, and then some traveling actors come to town, including young Aidan Quinn, who catches her eye and then her heart. € SUBMARINE 10 Mountainview Rd.
