movie awesoem
no idea why it never went us-wide release
shareI know. I though this film was hilarious. Great pseudo-dark comedy.
shareHow in the world this movie got a LOW 5.4 on IMDb
and an even lower 42 average (out of 100) on
"metacritic.com" with 20 major reviewers is beyond me.
I thought that it was very original, sweet and funny.
The writing and acting were excellent.
I gave it an 8.5
I've watched this movie several times and enjoyed it every time!
When Oliver Platt's character says, 'I wish I could sleep like that..' while Liam Neeson dozes in front of him, it always cracks me up. When he reaches for the dishrag after his wife has chewed him out, it makes me laugh. Really, I love Oliver Platt in this movie!
Liam Neeson is so sweet and honest when he's talking to these criminals about what's going down... You realize that there's stress there but it's all going to his digestive system! What a great point to make about the glamorous job of undercover police work! To transport this theme to another genre, can you imagine James Bond suffering the same malady? What a hoot if that were a plot point in any of the 007 movies!
