Introduction to John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie Review

 

John Travolta has been in the acting business for quite a long time compared to a newcomer on the scene.The newcomer to acting is singer Shania Twain, who I believe made her acting debut in John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie.

 

Did I enjoy watching a veteran actor, John Travollta in his Trading Paint Netflix movie? How did Shania Twain perform as her character? Last but not least, is the John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie worth watching?

 

Check out my movie review of John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie to find out the answers to the above questions and more.

 

Synopsis of John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie 

 

John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix 2019 movie is about a father and son race car drivers who are going through difficult times due to the recent loss of the wife and mother, as well as the on-going feud between John Travolta’s character, Sam Munroe and his competitor Linsky played by Michael Madsen.The son is played by Toby Sebastian as Cam Munroe and Shania Twain is playing the part of Becca, the romantic interest for John Travolta’s character.

 

Predictability of John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie

 

From the start, even though there were dissensions between John Travolta’s character and his son, Toby Sebastian‘s character, right away you knew that their disagreements would not last throughout the movie. Additionally, Shania Twain’s character seems to act as a go-between when problems surface involving the father and son. 

 

 In a nutshell, there was no suspense in the events of the John Travolta movie which include how the movie would end as well as who would eventually win the last race in the film.

 

 

Realism of John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie

 

Spoiler alert: In my opinion, the most unrealistic part of the movie was when John Travolta’s race car competitor Michael Madsen’s character told the son, the race car driver, to cause a wreck with his father to increase Michael Madsen’s character’s chances of winning.

 

 By this time John Travolta's character was driving his own race car instead of having the son drive and the son was driving for his competitor. I believe, in real life, the son would have stated right off the bat that he was not going to do such a thing, instead of driving off as if he was going to cause a wreck with his father – which, of course, he did not.

 

Another unrealistic scene in the John Travolta Training Paint Netflix movie was when John Travolta’s character returned to driving his own race car instead of the son  – he began winning races. This happens after the storyline indicated there were problems with the race car when driven by his son – which was why the son was losing races. However, when John Travolta’s character drove the exact same car – he won races. Go figure.

 

Another unrealistic part of the movie was the scene when Michael Madsen’s character acknowledged the retirement of John Travolta’s character from racing, but then turned around and raced against the son. In reality, the race should have been between John Travolta’s character and Michael Madsen’s character since they were the ones who were feuding.  

 

Additionally, the son was injured in a previous race, which would have been a good reason for him to be on the sidelines instead of participating in the last race of the movie with injured legs -- that I’m sure had not completely healed – even after six months.

 

As a side note, the race announcer only spoke of Munroe and Linsky’s progress during the race, ignoring the other race car drivers which I think was a disservice to them. After all, this was not a two-car race.

 

 

Shania Twain as an Actor in John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie

 

Unfortunately, I did not notice any chemistry between John Travolta and Shania Twain’s characters in John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie. Additionally, there was an awkward moment when John Travolta’s character confessed how he felt about her and she just lowered her head, smiled and said nothing. 

 

I think Shania Twain could use more acting lessons based on her performance in John Travolta’s Trading Paint Netflix movie. For example, there is a scene in the John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie where she is making a comment about his injured finger. Instead of looking concerned at the finger as if it needed immediate attention, she was looking at John Travoltla with a slight smile on her face. In other words, she played her part more like a stand-in for an actor, instead of a skilled, actual actor in this movie.

 

Regarding Shania Twain's acting debut, I would say her effort was a nice try, but I believe her forte is in singing instead of acting, even though this could change depending on her training, aspirations, etc. 

 

John Travoltal’s acting was adequate. The exception was when his son was injured and the tone of his cries for help reminded me of the character Vinnie Barbarino that he played years ago on the Welcome Back Carter television sitcom.

 

Looks like John Travolta’s acting skills stayed about the same in this movie as in a film I reviewed a while back, Gotti.

 

Message of the John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie

 

I believe that John Travolta’s Trading Paint Netflix movie emphasized the importance of family and the need to come together rather than be pulled apart. This was shown especially at the end of the movie, when the son,Toby Sebastian’s character miraculously won the race driving his father’s car instead of the competitor’s, and he made a speech about how important his father was to him.  

 

The John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie also ended on an upbeat note which is a plus for the film.

 

 

Assessment of John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix Movie

 

If you are having a slow day, you may want to watch John Travolta Trading Paint Netflix movie, or if you are a fan of either John Travolta or Shania Twain. As for me, I will probably pass on watching this movie again, even though I liked the overall message of the film regarding the importance of family.
