MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

JasparLamarCrabb Lunacy directed by Silvio Narizzano with so much going on it's almost impossible to take it all in. Hywel Bennett & Roy Holder rob a bank and hide the money in the casket that should contain Holder's dead mother. A lot of craziness follows. Sexy nurse Lee Remick makes a quick move on Holder's mourning father (Milo O'Shea) while wacky policeman Richard Attenborough tries to figure it all out. As O'Shea tells him, Attenborough's every move is a mystery. The film moves at break-neck speed and all of the performers are hilarious. Remick affects a perfect Irish accent and Attenborough seems to be channeling early Peter Sellers. O'Shea nearly steals the film as a ridiculously understanding dolt. From the Joe Orton play with some disposable music by Keith Mansfield.

pol-sigerson I am rarely tempted to add my own thoughts on any film on IMDb, but when the review for the black farce that is LOOT is compared less than favourably to WEEKEND AT BERNIES in all seriousness then even I feel I have to hitch up the keyboard and redress the situation.These are two films that are from totally different worlds.W.A.B's is an American teen romp, the kind that keep the tit and ass count down to get as many 15 year olds in to the multiplex, whilst LOOT is the second to last play written by Joe Orton the darling of the mid sixties theatre scene in London.Now I have never particularly liked LOOT as a play or as a film, preferring Entertaining Mr Sloane, Berly Reid's performance being worth the price of admission alone, but to compare it to W.A.B.'s is like comparing Hamlet to GHOST because of the presence of a spook in them. But it is easily a far superior film, yes it is a little creaky and the farce is shoe horned in but then that was Orton's style. LOOT is an example of the sad fag end of the sixties as they misfired to a close.I half expect to see Withnail and I come lurching over the horizon like spectres.Weekend At Bernies indeed.see also "Entertaining Mr.Sloane" and the bio pic "Prick Up Your Ears".

Gorgeous-5 Er......that's because it is a play. A play PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY. Did I mention it is a well known play in England? It's a rather good play.

xfile1971 You can tell throughout "Loot" that it is trying real hard to be an edgy black comedy. However, it doesn't even compare to the much funnier "Weekend At Bernie's". Why do I compare the two? Because both involve a corpse that moves around a lot.A couple of young men easily steal a bunch of money from a bank vault. The bank is right next to a funeral parlor and they hide the money in a coffin. Not an empty coffin...one with a body in it. Well, they can't fit all the money into the coffin so they take the body out in order to make room for their stash of cash.Craziness ensues as the two men try to hide both the money and the corpse from relatives and the police. It seems to go on and on and on. To make things worse, most of the story takes place in a hotel. This probably would've made a more interesting play rather than a movie. 2/10
