Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

bfko Mad Dog and glory is a very interesting film in regards to the actors who take on the lead roles. De Niro leads as a calm, quiet, forensics photographer who accidentally saves the life of mob Boss Bill Murray. This is interesting as Murray is taking on the role of the Mobster, a role that De Niro has helped define over the last 35 years. Also, this film is a comedy to a certain extent so De Niro is taking on a film that Murray would be suited to and expected to appear in.The plot basically consists of Frank Milo (Bill Murray) wanting to thank Mad Dog (De Niro) for saving his life by 'giving' him Glory (Uma Thurman) to be his maid for a week.There are some great comedic moments in the film but they do mainly belong to Murray who steals the show and walks away with the movie. The cast is peculiar in itself not only for the role reversals of De Niro and Murray but because of the casting of David Caruso as De Niro's cop partner who physically can't handle sharing the screen with such a great.The storyline starts off quite well but does tend to get a little silly at times and there are several sex scenes that were not really necessary and could have just been implied (it was as if the crew needed to fill up time in the movie).Overall, definitely watchable and enjoyable for Bil Murray's role, which one wished it would have been larger as he gets not nearly enough screen time. 6/10.

johnnyboyz Most things in Mad Dog and Glory work. The film uses humour, a love story, cross casting and a scrape of suspense well and at various different intervals. What doesn't work are the overall frustrations that bog the film down. The premise is so simple, watching it might make you think you've seen it a hundred times before but that doesn't detract too much. De Niro plays a role that I hadn't seen him play before and must admit, I didn't think he had it in him following other such performances like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Ronin where he played various different roles with various different aims. Here he pulls off the nervous, shy photographer whom just goes about his business and although it takes some getting used to, it's a pleasant surprise.He can be contrasted with Bill Murray's character of Frank Milo who is a criminal/mob boss that is saved by De Niro's character following a gun point robbery. What's clever about this fact is that Murray is playing the character De Niro normally plays and vice-versa. Throughout the film, the script is consistent. Mad Dog (De Niro) gets to confess some jokes to Milo since he also works as a stand up comic; something we're more familiar to Bill Murray doing, and the awkward exchanges between Mad Dog and Glory (Thurman) also evoke some emotions.Uma Thurman is just about 'put-upable' in this film. Her character is right on that fine-line you get that separates 'likeable' and 'annoying' in a very distinct way. Once more, the overall treatment of the female characters also stands out in a rather obvious way. At the bars, it's all women who run around serving the men who sit there and enjoy themselves; the character of Glory, as I've said, has a dopey, annoying voice and is someone whom is to phone Milo on instructions. Glory isn't very smart either and when, nearer the end in a heated exchange between Mad Dog and Milo, Milo yells 'You love her? I OWN her!' it's really made to seem like the screenwriter has something against the female side of our species.Although the film is pretty much consistent throughout in its subject matter with Mad Dog and Glory spending enough time with one another to begin to like each other, Frank Milo remaining a constant, background friend and foe alike; it falters towards the end when certain characters try to raise money and the ending is such a horrible, happy, un-realistic ending – it actually leaves a bad taste in the mouth when the feeling should be very different. Sure, I was happy for the characters involved but it was too generic. Reading up on it, I found that there were two endings meaning that even the makers were undecided.Regarding Uma Thurman, this is a film of hers I feel I never would have seen had it not been for some dedicated searching and I was certainly very surprised when the sex scenes with De Niro came along since I'd always assumed she'd done Dangerous Liasons in 1988 and then nothing until 1994's Pulp Fiction which then, kick-started what was a series of successful, well known films. The reason for my surprise is that I never hear anyone mention this film as one of either Thurman's or De Niro's best. It's true that it's far from great but the sheer surprise at realising both had done this film in their careers is enough to realise and to respect the acting talent involved. From now on, when people speak of Uma Thurman or Robert De Niro, this is a film of their's I will bring up and probably recommend.

lastliberal Yes, I admit it. I only watched this flick to see Uma Thurman. Any chance I get to spend some time with her is well worth it, and she certainly did not disappoint here.I have to admit that Bill Murray gave a very good performance. He just seems to float through his roles with ease. I'm sure he works hard at it, but he makes it look so easy.David Caruso was also good and I admit that I have a certain fondness for him. I think he gets criticized unfairly.All in all a film that was OK, but not great. It was, as I said, a chance to revel in Uma's beauty for a while.

freesharon If you don't like movies that are adequately summarized in a 20 second spot, if you do like to see actors work against stereotypical expectations and do it well, if you don't believe people or endings are all good or all bad and you're OK with that, this might be a movie you will want to add to your collection. DeNiro is doing the expected only in that he is practicing his patented shape shifting technique -- I found his characterization both believable and involving. Murray gives his first great serious performance -- who knew he could be menacing? Uma is hard to figure, in the way conflicted people often really are. David Caruso gives the most out-there performance I have seen from him, and in this movie it works. (I didn't know him in his first TV cop series, but this character is nothing like the one he plays in CSI Miami.) You might even find yourself rethinking what really happened, and liking that, too.
