Movie Review by AJ

Seeing my favorite actor, Bill Murray, and my favorite actress, Uma Thurman, in the same film and sharing the same scenes...well, that is just insanely cool. There's also the extra special added attraction of Robert De Niro. The film itself has its faults, but the cast is brilliant and director McNaughton still manages to create an effective sociological study. There's a lot of sly, clever, and understated subtext yearning to be explored...and I have the feeling that it may make an even greater impact on repeated viewings. The role reversal between Murray and De Niro is also enjoyable. De Niro plays the sensitive cop, and Murray plays the dangerous, sociopathic mobster. Murray manages to steal the show singlehandedly and with ease, but then again, I am biased. The results are very entertaining. Not a great movie, no, but the performances are fantastic and the script is very clever.
