Watch The Ladykillers For Free

Pretty Good

Beautiful, moving film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

I found this movie in certain parts to be an absolute riot. I think Tom Hanks did a great job in this film, and the dialogue he used was just great and he played a great character. However my favorite character in the film was Garth Pancake, that part was cast perfectly and that character was hysterical. Everything he said that was the "easiest thing in the world" was actually really hard and ended up crashing down and blowing up in there face and it was a laugh riot. It's been a while since I had a good laugh and this film gave me a couple good laughs and I'm glad to have gotten them. The only character I did not like was the Wayne's brother he wasn't needed he added nothing and did nothing, but cuss and act out. The rest of the characters and cast were all done really well.

The Ladykillers (2004): Dir: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen / Cast: Tom Hanks, Irma P. Hall, Marlon Wayans, J.K. Simmons, Tzi Ma: One of the best of the Coen Brothers, which proves that even they can create a masterful remake. It is a hilarious caper about a group of thieves who charm an elderly woman as gospel musicians while using her cellar as a base for their operation to tunnel to a casino. It contains the skill of Joel and Ethan Coen whose credits include such impressive films as Blood Simple and The Big Lebowski. Their film is a remake of the 1955 classic starring Alec Guinness but thankfully the Coens use style and witty writing to pull off one of the best remakes to come. Tom Hanks leads the heist sporting a funny accent and a charm that delights Irma P. Hall who allows them to shelter there. Marlon Wayans works as a janitor inside the casino and is the inside guy. J.K. Simmons plays an explosive expert who has a medical bowel condition. Tzi Ma plays a character called the General, and Ryan Hurst plays an unintelligent football player of few words. This is a great collaboration of actors playing thieves hindered by their victim's unconditional devotion to God. It shows the consequences of crime with a peculiar reference to God in that Hall is a Christian woman who believes that the wayward direction is headed right where the thieves dump the body bags. Score: 10 / 10

The Ladykillers is an absolutely terrible movie with a very stupid storyline that insults the original 1955 classic rather than remakes.I was so shocked with how brutal this was,Tom Hanks starring in a movie with the Coen brothers that is a remake of a very famous comedy sounds like gold,but its awful,I don't understand why Academy Award winning people would do this,it also seemed promising that J.K. Simmons is in it,I usually enjoy his performances.Tom Hanks did do a good performance,but it didn't make up for the fact that this movie was just not funny and it had him working with people like Marlon Wayans,they just don't belong in the same movie together.This movie is a complete mess that is sort of hard to forget,I only would give it a one,but since ATom Hanks did do his best,i'm giving it a two,but I would recommend to nobody.A crooked college professor borrows his landlady's basement but when she gets suspicious his gang try to silence her.

Im usually a huge fan of the Cohen brothers films but this one was definitely not one of my favorites. It was pretty good just not compared to a lot of their other films. Tom Hanks does a great job and so does the rest of the cast except for Marlon Waynes of course whos acting is annoying at best why they felt they needed to add him I will never know.This movie is about an old lady who one day has a knock on her door. There is a very educated intelligent man standing there wishing to rent the room she has. She brings him in and he invites his friends over where they plan to tunnel their way through the wall of the basement and rob a bank.This movie was pretty good and it had its funny moments but its not where near as funny as the big lebowski etc..
