Day 69 - 3/10/09 - Movie #67
BEFORE: Let's keep the John Cusack theme going - this seems to be a relatively short film, which is great, since "Idol" had another 2-hour sing-off tonight...
THE PLOT: A shady lawyer attempts a Christmas Eve crime, hoping to swindle the local mob out of some money. But his partner, a strip club owner, might have different plans for the cash.
AFTER: I guess I was expecting something similar to "Grosse Pointe Blank", but this one wasn't as funny. But it was a good double-cross/triple-cross plot. Oliver Platt was quite amusing, but Billy Bob Thornton was mostly a blank - and it was hard to hate Randy Quaid's character, who everyone seemed to be afraid of, since he didn't show up until the end. Overall, just really depressing.
RATING: 5 out of 10 pasties
