Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Mr. Vik 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.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Cadillac Man" is an in-your-face type of comedy, as it is a fast paced, relentless and very chaotic type of comedy. You might think that to be too much, but even though it never slows down or backs down, you are in for some good fun and good entertainment.The story is about Joey (played by Robin Williams), a car salesman pressed hard on his luck. Things are stacked up above his head, and everything comes tumbling down when his coworker Donna's disgruntled boyfriend Larry (played by Tim Robbins) show up at the car lot with guns and explosives.While this comedy is not one that will leave you in tears from laughing, the comedy used is straight to the point and it matches the outrageous feel there is to the entire movie.Robin Williams and Tim Robbins are performing quite well in this movie, and they do compliment one another acting side by side. I had seen this movie before, but I didn't remember that Fran Drescher was in the movie too, and she did a good job with her role as well.If you enjoy the Robin Williams movies and comedy then "Cadillac Man" should be watched. It is fast paced fun and is filled with great characters and good dialogue. Well-worth spending about an hour and a half on watching.
FlashCallahan Joe's a car salesman with a problem. He has two days to sell 12 cars or he loses his job.This would be a difficult task at the best of times but Joe has to contend with his girlfriends (he's two timing), a missing teenage daughter and an ex-wife.What more could go wrong ? Enter a crazy jealous husband with a machine gun..You would expect a film with Williams as a car salesman to be a zip zip one liner-thon, and while some of the film is very funny, it can lose itself within the confined setting and silly sub-plots.Williams is as watchable as ever, but this time, he is more of an anti-hero, as far away from Mork as you could imagine, but it makes the dark in this black comedy all the more delicious.Robbins and Williams have great chemistry together, and whenever they are on screen together, its unmissable stuff.Sadly, when the films narration turns to the girlfriends and the police, it becomes a chore, and the film has to rely on the comedy Chinese waitress for laughs.It's good for what it is, yuppie satire, but too many sub-plots have slightly spoiled the comedic broth.
The Legend This really is not one of Robin Williams' best films, in fact it is probably one of his worst ! The first half of the film just ambles along, leaving you hoping that it will get better - but it doesn't - it gets worse ! If you enjoy someone aimlessly shooting bullets into the ceiling whilst constantly shouting, then maybe this is for you. The shouting goes on for too long for no reason and you will do well to remain interested. There is very little humour in what is supposed to be a "comedy" . Robin Williams is better than this and so are most of his other films. A lot of the other reviewers seemed to enjoy it so I hope this review balances things. Watch it for yourself but don't be surprised if you switch off before it ends !
