Good film:better than expected


Good old style film...... a story with a bit of action, nostalgia and variety of characters and situations to keep it enjoyable.Tim Allen was good although his hitman was still a little on the comedic side......great turn from Richard Dreyfuss.....why isnt this guy in more films?

I was sent this by mistake and wasn't going to watch it as comedies (and Tim Allen) aren't my thing. In the end I did take a look and I was really impressed. I agree with the OP and I also thought that the magician element was novel in it's use, and the timeline theme all executed nicely. Peter MacNeill is well suited to the long-suffering cop role.

i gotta agree, i thought this was a great film, from the girl shooting off the roof onwards you kindof knew what was going to happen, but was still reeeally entertaining, tim allen seems like a nice guy but i cant stand SOME OF his movies, hes a little to bill cosby but he was great in this. definatly worth watching.

Hi All...

Another sleeper, hadnt heard of it, picked it up 2nd hand for sod all, love it to death!!!
So many highlights, so many cameos, Ru Paul= funny, Billy Connelly = Friggin damn funny!!!!, Tim Allen great,never really seen Bill Cosby shoot anyone in the head.

How funny is the 'deliverance/Burt Reynolds' skit!!!!
this is an original flick that deserved better!!!

Cheers
