Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Uriah43 Four thieves find themselves on the run after their leader, "Crane" (Forest Whitaker) is shot and killed during an art museum robbery. The problem for them is that one of their members named "Chino" (John Leguizamo) is an extremely loose cannon who is easily provoked by one of the other members by the name of "Hobbs" (David Caruso). As a result the de facto leader, "Pike" (Ving Rhames) has his hands full just trying to get to Miami in order to sell the stolen paintings so that they can each go their separate ways. However, along the way they pick up a woman named "Natalie" (Linda Fiorentino) who causes even more trouble. Now, while this film is billed as a "comedy" I found it to be more of a "crime-drama" than anything else. Even so, it was an interesting film which should keep most viewers guessing from start to finish. Likewise, even though I couldn't stand the character played by John Leguizamo I must admit that he did an excellent job all the same. I also liked the performances of Ving Rhames, David Caruso and Linda Fiorentino as well. All things considered then, I rate this movie as slightly above average.
LeonLouisRicci You cannot combine all of these talented Actors without generating something of interest. Therein lies the appeal of this derivative Heist Yarn. Just watching the Players interact with abandon and dumb-as-dirt behavior is enough to make this worth a watch.Low-Life Criminals do tend to behave like, well, Low-Life-Criminals. It was Timothy McVEigh who was initially pulled over with a broken tail-light, as have so many others with impaired intelligence, on the lam. This one has just enough Violence, Low-Brow Charm, and twists that makes this just slightly above average. Also, this is one of the reasons that Femme Fatales so often can take these types for a ride. Their tendency to think with the little head and not the big head is painfully evident here, that was probably, or hopefully, the point of the FF Parody.
dalton2-8 This is one of those films in which you enjoy every situation feeling that all what you see can happen in real life. While I was watching the movie, one title came to my mind: Fargo. There's a lot of similarities between both films, but with one difference: Fargo is really based on a true story!. The 'Godfather II-type' flashbacks are really fantastic. They're an original way to keep you interested the whole time, and they're also a perfect choice to add an original style to the story development. For example, they make it possible to start the film with the final scenes of the robbery and let you discover the whole story in a retrospective way. This film has many more good things: multi-dimensional and charismatic characters, an acceptable music, and a very good sound. I can't believe there are people who dislike this film. My rating: 7-8 out of 10.
Eviltoad The overall idea for this movie was not bad but the actual movie itself is very bad. What these great actors saw in the script is beyond me.
