Customer Reviews of Get Shorty
Smarter & more entertaining than any film has a right to be Why this film didn't get any Oscar nominations is easy to see. It's way too smart for its own good, and cuts just a little too close to the bone than any Hollywood type would care to admit. Based on a terrific Elmore Leonard novel, Get Shorty forces the viewer to listen intently to the characters as the action moves around them and their world comes into being through it, in a similar fashion to Bogart's The Maltese Falcon & Grant's His Girl Friday. The art of listening is increasingly lost on today's viewers, which is why many people just don't get the many subtleties and nuances liberally peppered throughout this masterpiece. And the actors just flow into their roles, looking as comfortable in them as you would in your favourite pair of jeans. John Travolta as the transplanted Miami gangster Chili Palmer is cool personified, while Gene Hackman appears suitably flustered as the harried movie producer who suddenly realizes he's in WAY over his head. Cameos abound and are a bunch of fun to watch. In fact, this whole film was so much fun, I bought my own copy! Do yourself a favour and rent it tonight.
A very fun movie!
This is one of the cleverest comedies out there. John Travolta plays a bookie (Chili Palmer) in Miami Beach, FL. He is one of these respected hard nose, no BS type of people that just demands respect wherever he goes. But for a change of pace and a change of heart, not to mention money that is owned to him, he flies out to California. He is searching for a man who took a very large some of money, but in the mean time is caught up in the Hollywood movie making industry. He meets up and makes friends with Gene Hackman, a B movie director always looking for the next big break. Rene Russo plays a B movie washed up actress who is helping Travolta get into the movie industry. Mean while, old friends and enemies follow Travolta to the sunshine state to find out what he is up to and possibly move in on the action. This movie also has Danny DeVito, Dennis Farina, cameo by Penny Marshall, Delroy Lindo, James Gandolfini, and more twists and turns that you can imagine. If you are looking for a really fun comedy with lots of stars then this is the movie to get!
The worst movie ever created by man
This movie was a waste of money. Only good part was that one guy saying the F word a lot. This movie is dull, boring, and is slow developing. I took this DVD and broke it into pieces after I watched it, I had more fun breaking this DVD than watching it. For anyone who is going to buy this DVD I warn you, it is a retarded movie, and waste of your money.
