Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

gforce-14 I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF THIS MOVIE!! Watch it over 17+ time... the VHS died and recently Bought the DVD..Tonight it's on MTV's CINEMATIC at 22hours (european time) ... I'm gonna watch it again.... WHOOT!!I agree it looks like THE USUAL SUSPECT idea of film making, but hey!!... I loved that movie also :)Wish I could see more movie like this ... *sigh*Does anyone else has more titles like this movie for me? I'd really appreciate it... thnx in advance, yours sincerely Richard from the netherlands

Claudio Carvalho In a penitentiary, the forger Trevor Allen Finch (Christin Slater) organizes the escape of his friend and former magician Micah Donnelly (Richard Dreyfuss). Twenty years ago, Micah stole a fortune in diamonds and has promised one million dollars to Trevor if he is succeed in the plan. In the end, they escape together, they meet Micah's daughter Tess Donnelly (Portia de Rossi) and Trevor achieves with a friend of him new identities for both of them. The new identity of Trevor is Cletis Tout, a reporter executed by Mafia, who witnessed the murder of a hooker by the mobster Rowdy Virago (Joseph Scoren). The Mafia believes Cletis is alive and hires Critical Jim (Tim Allen), a hitman who loves old movies, to kill Cletis. While waiting for his payment, Jim decides to listen to the saga of Trevor, comparing it with the screenplay of a film. This non-linear script is certainly made with the intention of being a cult movie. With many citations of important movies, and funny and nice characters, it is impossible not to like this story, which is a kind of popcorn Pulp Fiction without explicit violence. A good entertainment and a great surprise for me. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): `O Alvo Errado' (`The Wrong Target')

davemed Amazingly, I had not heard of this film. Tim Allen just blew meaway with this one...The interplay between Slater and Allen isgreat chemistry. A very funny, quirky story and some really nice twists makes this one an 8 for me. Classic movie referencesthroughout the movie added to the fun...The line where Allen asks Slater, "Anybody ever tell you that you have a Jack Nicholson quality about you"? Please give this one a try. It is so nice to "find" a little movie that has a small budget and modest production that scores big on story, acting, direction and intelligence. Don't take my word for it..check it out...You won't be sorry..

mozli I'm referring to Tim Allen's CRITICAL JIM character. He's pretty funny in this movie. He is a murdering sociopathic hitman but he has a soft spot for good stories/happy endings. I didn't care for this movie until 3/5ths the way through it then the dogged work of the detective who figures out SPOILER AHEAD:that Tout isn't who he says he is and the whole business of putting the crime lord's son in jail would be wrecked if the cops followed the letter of the law. I like those kinds of twists where you have to do the wrong thing to get the right resolution. Only in the movies.
