Awesome Movie
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I don't know how this movie ended up below 6 rating at IMDB but it's for sure it deserves at least above 6.8 rating once you're done with watching it.Movie on hostages are generally quite violence oriented, but this is slightly different story about love and relationship. All the characters in the movie did perform their job well. No dull acting at all. Tim Robbins did a pretty decent job on being the bad guy.Robin Williams had a major role in it of convincing and as usual he didn't disappoint us.I love the way the movies used to portrayed in the good old days. Oh God I love the 90s. Robin Williams, we will miss you and your incredible acting skills.
Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) is a relentless car salesman. The car lot is moving and there will fewer sales jobs. He has two days to sell 12 cars to make an impression. He spends all of his money on the women in his life; ex-wife Tina (Pamela Reed), married woman Joy Munchack (Fran Drescher) and party girl Lila (Lori Petty). Then Larry (Tim Robbins) breaks in with a gun suspecting his wife Donna (Annabella Sciorra) is cheating with somebody in the car lot. Donna is grazed by a bullet. Joey tries to take the blame for an affair despite not sleeping with Donna. He tries to talk Larry down as the police surrounds them.Everything is wacky. Everybody is loud. They are all yelling. It is generally not funny except when Robin gets a few laughs with the help of Tim Robbins. I do not see Roger Donaldson as a funny director. It is trying to be Dog Day Afternoon but it does not have the gritty reality. Even the cops are deliberately loud. The police negotiator is one of the most antagonist negotiator in any movie. Everyone is deliberately set on edge and it does not make it funny.
This is playing on TV right now and it is so annoying.It started out a bit interesting about a car salesman, but rest of the film seemed like it turned into a whole new genre; it's a mess -- all it ends up being is an annoying stress viewing experience about a hostage with everyone screaming CONSTANTLY that it will make your ears bleed.It will make you want to tell all the cast to just shut up. Thankfully, I did not have to pay for this.The mute button on the remote was invented for films like this.The film is a giant mess. If you want to stress yourself out on a film with everyone screaming and yelling, knock yourself out on this one.
Robbin Williams stars in this wickedly amusing and ocassionally hilarious film about a car salesman having the worst few days of his life. Williams plays Joey, a car salesman who is juggling 2 girlfriends, had to deal with his wife wanting more money, a ganster wanting payment on a gambling debt and a boss who wants him to seel 12 cars in two days or he will loose his job. On top of that We have Tom Robbins as the husband of an employee who breakes into the dealership with an automatic weapon demanding to know who has been sleeping with his wife. The film suffers from a boring first half that seems to be going nowhere fast and only has a few scattered laughs but then begins to succeed due to the great chemestry between Williams and Robbins. It may not be perfection but because of great performances from the two leads, many laughs and a heart felt ending this one is a winner in my books.
