Uriah43
Four thieves find themselves on the run after their leader, "Crane" (Forest Whitaker) is shot and killed during an art museum robbery. The problem for them is that one of their members named "Chino" (John Leguizamo) is an extremely loose cannon who is easily provoked by one of the other members by the name of "Hobbs" (David Caruso). As a result the de facto leader, "Pike" (Ving Rhames) has his hands full just trying to get to Miami in order to sell the stolen paintings so that they can each go their separate ways. However, along the way they pick up a woman named "Natalie" (Linda Fiorentino) who causes even more trouble. Now, while this film is billed as a "comedy" I found it to be more of a "crime-drama" than anything else. Even so, it was an interesting film which should keep most viewers guessing from start to finish. Likewise, even though I couldn't stand the character played by John Leguizamo I must admit that he did an excellent job all the same. I also liked the performances of Ving Rhames, David Caruso and Linda Fiorentino as well. All things considered then, I rate this movie as slightly above average.

You cannot combine all of these talented Actors without generating something of interest. Therein lies the appeal of this derivative Heist Yarn. Just watching the Players interact with abandon and dumb-as-dirt behavior is enough to make this worth a watch.Low-Life Criminals do tend to behave like, well, Low-Life-Criminals. It was Timothy McVEigh who was initially pulled over with a broken tail-light, as have so many others with impaired intelligence, on the lam. This one has just enough Violence, Low-Brow Charm, and twists that makes this just slightly above average. Also, this is one of the reasons that Femme Fatales so often can take these types for a ride. Their tendency to think with the little head and not the big head is painfully evident here, that was probably, or hopefully, the point of the FF Parody.

The movie itself is not bad. An art robbery gone wrong, four delinquents on the run to (where else?) Miami. Once they have to be together 24/7 it shows that the main figures have a homicidial tendency towards each other. Especially drug-crazed Chino & driver Hobbs clash more often than not. A good opportunity for David Caruso to show the wide range of his acting talent, which comes here much more to life than as H. Caine in CSI. Was this movies ever shown on the silver screen or did it go straight to video-sales? Unfortunately, some-one in actor-heaven seems to hate Caruso - otherwise it would have been a box-office success after its first showing.

It was good. Not as good that I would pay to see it again, but I enjoyed it. I mean it´s a low-budget film with great actors (Leguizamo f ex) and I liked the ending... I didn´t expect it. And I´m very good at that. And usually when I haven´t expected it, it´s bad. But this one was good...
