Heists and hits October 6, 2009
Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth)
This double-feature contains crime dramas released in 1995.
MAN WITH A GUN is a Canadian-made action-oriented neo-noir that, despite four decent 'leads' doesn't quite gel. Blame either a disjointed script or some injudicious editing for its obvious (and fatal) lack of continuity.
Jennifer Tilly plays twin sisters. Michael Madsen is a 'button' who's ordered to kill mobster Gary Busey's cheating wife (Busey gives his usual scenery-chewing bad guy performance here). The only problem is: Tilly has been cheating with Madsen. She tries to convince him to murder her twin instead, but once Michael meets the sweet girl (who's a total contrast to Busey's brassy wife) he quickly falls for her.
What follows is a lot of hoods armed to the teeth who appear for no reason. Bullets fly thicker than at a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I dunno 'bout dis one, folks. See it only if you're a real fan of Madsen, Tilly, Busey or Loggia.
THE IMMORTALS is somewhat better despite the presence of Tony Curtis, who is clearly scraping the bottom of his career barrel.
Curtis is the mob boss targeted for a rip-off by nightclub owner Eric Roberts, who selects eight terminally-ill confederates for the robbery. He pairs them up similarly masked to simultaneously hit four of Curtis's casinos. Next comes the double cross and people start dropping like flies (in one case, dropping acid, too!). Who will ultimately survive in this Tarantino-ish miasma? After sitting through this one, let's hope it's US.
Parenthetical numbers preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.
