Audience Member Archà (C)type du tà (C)là (C)film du samedi après-midi qu'on regarde en somnolant et qu'on aura dà (C)jà oublià (C) le samedi soir. Michael Madsen enchaine les navets (ou film alimentaire!?) à vitesse grand V. Dommage que la jolie Jennifer Tilly soit de ce naufrage. Et dommage encore que ses charmes ne soient pas plus exploità (C)s... Je n'ose imaginer ce qu'aurait à (C)tà (C) ce film si en plus il n'avait même pas eu un gun! ;-) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i loved this as a kid and i still love it to this day Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting modern noir attempt here. It's got the cheesey voice-over done by the lead flawed protagonist Michael Madsen. He's a gun for hire ordered (by mob boss Gary Busey) to kill his bosses wife, Jennifer Tilly (an actress born about 30 years too late for her talents to truely be appreciated). But, there's a twist. He's sleeping with the boosses wife. Oh no! Luckily she's got a twin sister they can whack and no one will be the wiser. But will his conscience get to him? Decent story pulled off by a great cast of veteran actors. One reason I like this film is because that actual gives a good amount of screen time to Bill Cobbs who makes a good turn as Madsen best, and/or only friend who helps him out. Loggia plays the usual disgruntled mob Don and Gary Busey plays the highly amusing mob boss that orders the hit. There's a scene that he, instead of walking around, he jumps in a pool and swim over to to Loggia. I'm not sure but I'm guessing that's all Busey. Worth it for that scene alone. Above the average b-rate film noir. No Bogart film though, but I think that can go without saying. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
