Bad Movie

Bad Karma is a bad movie, but it's good for having a laugh at if you're in the mood. One of my favorite bad scenes is this exchange around 30 minutes in:
"Honey I'm beat. Do you mind if we get takeaway again tonight?"
*long pause*
"OK."
"We could get Thai. There's that great place up on Baldwin's. They do a fantastic curry."
*long pause*
"Yeah that sounds good."

Riveting dialog. Look out Tarantino!

I also love how they make Ray Liotta's partner the manager of a jewelry store. Gee, I wonder if that will prove to be significant in a movie about criminals?

I like how you completely missed the point of that scene, which showed the gulf between Kelly's everything-is-kosher normalcy at that point and Molloy's worry now that the bottom has just dropped out of his world, but he tries to feign normalcy. That scene was also very cleverly composed visually, too.

@JrnlofEddieDeezenStudies I get that the scene was to show how Liotta was all worried and distracted, but it's still an awful scene with awful dialog. Fits in with the rest of the movie, eh?

I don't at all agree with you. Per what is it an awful scene with awful dialog?

Well, it was nice to hear Dominic speaking in his natural accent for a change. Steve V.

Laugh? it didn't even make me laugh in the 'lol this is so bad way' I was so bored during the whole thing, the story was weak, uninteresting characters, meh
The only good part was the chick stripping with Dominic Purcell and he flips her over like a pancake grabbing her neck and touching her tits, some cool music there, that's about it
4/10 and I'm being kind
Selina? Selina Kyle, you're fired! And Bruce Wayne, why are you dressed up like Batman?
