Movie Review: ho hum
Summary: 1 Stars
Such a waste; what potential this strong cast had. I dunno if it was direction or acting that went sour. And there were more holes in this story than Swiss cheese...SPOILER (below):
it's said that if someone knows just one person, that link would make a mutual connection to the entire world--wellll, they sure stretch that coincidence hard to unbelievable lengths in this movie.
The accountant AND banker work for the same two mobs? who don't know that until the end? The accountant's daughter's got the hots for 'our hero'? who doesn't know ANY of these guys?
Here's three big holes to ponder, just off the top of my head
1) the 'Guineas' come in, acknowledge the cop guarding the hospital patient and in the patient's presence with the door open, they tell the cop they're gonna rough up the patient... and the patient is threatened and 'manhandled', but he doesn't tell the FBI, his next immediate visitors, that the cop's on the mob payroll? You'd think if you were so afraid that you had a cop on the door, ya might wanna be sure he'd at least pretend to protect ya.
2) Ice-T kills the only man who controls his money-- the accountant-- before he finds out where the accountant hid his money? T knows the accountant skimmed 100G's, but he doesn't worry about the 200G's cash the accountant supposedly has stashed for him, he just blows it off, and assumes his banker will come up with a million $$?
3) Who do YOU know who'd sign for a million $$ in a bank and not even look to see if it's money and not bricks (or in this case, phone books) that have been packed in a briefcase?
It's not like this is a Chinese puzzle--I wondered these things aloud as they occurred on the screen... and here's one more stinker--couriers get ambushed for the counterfeit plates. They and the team that assault them ALL have machine guns. The FBI tries to intervene. Everyone's shooting at everyone, 3 guys completely protected by a Chevy Van's door (musta been the glass). And NOBODY on this duty--courier, thief, nor FBI agent thought to wear a Kevlar vest??
ARGH. Sorry, I'm on a roll... the accountant squeals to DennisH, but doesn't negotiate for the 100G's to cover his "losses"? France's 'problem-solver' is so sentimental he lets our hero just walk out...right... he's goose-stepped through everyone else, following the trail to the plates, but our hero *might* have a girl friend, so we better let him go..
Damn, somebody open a window, and air this stinker out...
