SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

ctomvelu1 DW is a great movie for insomniacs, although you can catch it running almost anytime of the day or night one of the cable channels. Denis Leary is a broken-spirited, physically ailing cop who begins to see a chiropractor (Liz Hurley) for his bad back. This leads to romance for the widowed cop. TYhe always-wonderful Luiz Guzman is Leary's main buddy. There are at least two other plot threads, one of which has Don Faison of SCRUBS fame and his roommate working on a crime script they hope to sell to Hollywood. The film spends way too much time with these guys. Cult favorite Steve Buscemi shows up along the way. Keep your eye on the parts of the movie involving Leary and his (mis)adventures, and you'll be fine. Ignore the rest.

RainDogJr I really want to see Living in Oblivion for long time ago, i look in all the big stores in Mexico City but i can't find that film but once i see this one from the same director whit one of my favorites actors, Steve Buscemi and whit Elizabeth Hurley. I expect a great film,but is not very good. The plot is not great but i think that the film could be better whit the same plot. I love the part of the two black guys that want to make a film, is nothing but fun so if the film was whit the same fun as this part, maybe could be what i expect. The cast is good, Denis Leary is just good, Steve Buscemi's role is not the best of his career but still have his moments and well Elizabeth Hurley doesn't need to act, i mean she will always look good in a film.As a conclusion, well this film is not great but if you are looking for a nice comedy whit some excellent and really fun moments watch this film. Double whammy: 7.5

Don Sanger This movie was on our cable on demand and I never seen it , so I thought I'd check it out. I have a bad back and I can relate to this character Detective Pluto. When your back is out no one knows the pain and difficulty but yourself. Additionally, it always seems other people less cooler than yourself are getting ahead while your in pain. It's a funny movie and I like Denis Leary's style in it. We need more people like this guy, as the world sadly turns to wussies. I like the plot, they made the two thieves kind of ruthless though and I don't see them being as ruthlessly portrayed unless some drug use was indicated in the film (none were). Anyway enjoy the laughs.

oldsenior The director/writer should of gotten a co-writer, because he trys to get to some-where in his film, but falls short, maybe someone elses imput would have made the difference between a lousy script and a funny movie. I've seen Leary on different talk shows and he always seems to be on the edge, ready to explode, an angry person, always having to put some one down to try to be funny and make a joke. Maybe if he smiled a bit in this movie it might have seemed like more of a comedy, (talk about a grim dude). The writing was just poor and the direction at least in the fast food place was missing something, clumsily staged. And what-about the young girl getting away with attempted murder (we're supposed to believe she's repented (she crys) and there-fore pays her dues to society). What's the title mean? What's the eyeball mean? Why is the hero? smoking dope (I guess the director does), is that cool? Hurley's secretary could have been a bit more animated, instead of being a zombie, and made a more interesting character. Dimitri the cop was a pretty sharp dresser, his clothes and Leary were by some big time designer, although you'd never know it by Leary's wardrobe. Hurley always looks great and Bucimmi's character could have been better realized, what he had was nothing. In fact the whole story could have been better realized, tighter and connected somehow. Maybe the next effort will be better and not cost me $5.00 for the DVD.
