Summary: A sleeper of a movie
Review: Yes, it's a little formulaic, but who can agrue with a line like: "You know, I can't think of nothing finer than a fine naked woman holding a gun." and then show you a visual confirmation. Drink beer while you watch this movie.

Summary: Unexpected pleasure!!
Review: Much more entertaining than I expected. Matthew was super, Bruce was excellent, Natasha was wonderful, but Amanda Peet almost steals the show!
The plot was well-written and adapted by the director. Good characterizations, good suspense. I would love to see more of Amanda Peet in movies. I don't know why they always cast her as a [...], hooker, or other bad girl. I think she'd be very versatile in many roles.

Summary: The Plot thickens
Review: Bruce Willis comes out with another outstanding performance, with the assistance of many other good actors. This is what you would call a black comedy, it is deffinately worth a watch, or buy, if you like Willis in a comic role, and also if you enjoy a good vs bad guy movie.
All up it was very pleasing and the plot never faded, it was constant and very watchable.
ENJOY

Summary: Kind of funny. Sometimes.
Review: Summary:
Nicholas 'Oz' Oseransky (Matthew Perry) is a struggling dentist. His wife, Sophie Oseransky (Rosanna Arquette), is the daughter of his former business partner who also happened to embezzle a bunch of money then kill himself, leaving Oz in a lot of debt. We don't ever know why Oz and Sophie married, but their marriage is horrible. Then, out of the blue, Jimmy 'The Tulip' Tudeski (Bruce Willis), a former hitman for the Chicago Gogolak crime family, moves in next door. Oz immediately recognizes him and tells Sophie, who has the brilliant idea of turning him in for the bounty on his head to pay off the loans and even entices Oz with a divorce if he'll do it. So Oz heads off to Chicago to contact the mafia while Sophie goes over to Jimmy's house and tells him what Oz is up to. Sophie also tries to hire Jimmy to kill Oz - Jimmy is the second hitperson (I say 'hitperson' because the first was a woman) she has tried to hire for this - but Jimmy turns her down. She then takes off to Niagara Falls and seduces a third hitperson. Meanwhile, Oz, who never really had any intention of telling the Gogolak crime family where Jimmy was, finds himself tracked down by a member of the crime family, Frankie Figs (Michael Clarke Duncan), and taken to see the head of the family, Janni Pytor Gogolak (Kevin Pollak). Oz is then forced to admit he knows where Jimmy lives and is going to be accompanied by Frankie back to Canada to show him. But before he can go back to Canada, Jimmy's wife, who wants a divorce as well, Cynthia Tudeski (Natasha Henstridge), visits with him. They fall for each other and end up having sex. When Oz gets back to Canada accompanied by Frankie, he realizes that Jimmy and Frankie are in cahoots and then participates in their plot to entice Janni and Cynthia back to Canada so Jimmy can kill them in order to withdraw ... million(s). Janni's dad gave it to Jimmy and Cynthia as a wedding gift, but it was really just a tricky way to shelter the money from the government. The only problem is that it requires three signatures or at least one signature and two death certificates to withdraw the money. So, Janni is planning to kill Cynthia and Jimmy while Jimmy is trying to kill Cynthia and Janni and Oz is now in love with Cynthia but deathly afraid of everyone else. So, Oz has to try to come up with a plan that will prevent Cynthia from being killed. the movie is very easy to follow and I won't ruin it by spoiling the end. ...
I doubt I ever would have paid money to rent this movie, so seeing it on TV or getting it from the library was about the only way I would have been exposed to it. As it turns out, it was on TV and I was pleasantly surprised. Though it won't ever rank among the best movies ever made, it is kind of funny. However, the acting isn't superb. As much as I like Matthew Perry in Friends, he just doesn't seem to have what it takes to do movies. Rosanna Arquette doesn't seem to be acting, and Amanda Peet comes across as a supermodel who has never acted in her life. Perhaps that is all okay, but, other than Bruce Willis playing the tough guy role, which he does fairly well, and Michael Clark Duncan, the rest of the cast was, well, was pretty bad. The major redeeming quality was that the story was intriguing, well thought out, and funny. There were enough twists and turns to keep you wondering what would happen next and there were no holes left in the plot, at least none that I spotted. So, while this isn't going to win an Oscar for anyone on the cast, the movie itself might actually be fun to watch on a Friday night with a large group of friends.

Summary: I REALLY Enjoyed this fillm!!
Review: (...).
This film will probably not ever be on the AFI Top 100 films of all time. But that does not mean that it is not very entertaining. Matthew Perry was really very good in this, so for that matter was all the main cast. They all manage to be likable characters, that you know are bad people, and you still care what happens to them.
I've watched this film 3 or 4 times and still enjoy all the performances.
I doubt that many of you will be sorry you took time to watch this film.

Summary: A good way to laugh away a few hours on a lazy weekend.
Review: A fun movie from beginning to end. The story itself is pretty contrived and you need to totally suspend disbelief. It is well worth a series of laughs however as the movie parodies just about every cliché ranging from hit-men to mobsters. Barring Rosanna Arquette and Kevin Pollack who ham in the most annoying fashion, the rest of the cast i.e. Bruce Willis, Mathew Perry, Michael Clarke Duncan and Amanda Peet are excellent. Willis revels in his usual deadpan style where he has some great one-liners, with Duncan managing to convey menace as well as humor almost in parallel. Perry as the much harassed dentist has a gift for comic timing and comes off well by and large except for his romance with Natasha Henstridge which totally fails to connect. Henstridge herself is pretty subdued, though to be fair, her role in the movie is pretty empty. The surprise packet is Peet as a hit-man groupie who brings real life to her scenes. A light hearted movie and a good way to laugh away a few hours on a lazy weekend.

Summary: Not a "Black" Comedy!
Review: When I rented this movie, I was under the impression that I was going to watch a "dark" or "black" comedy because it was listed as such in Amazon.com. In fact, this poorly filmed and dim-witted comedy has nothing to do with the genre that includes films such as "Dr Strangelove", "Man bites dog", "Pulp fiction" or "Fargo".
The plot is deceptively predictable, and the acting is very poor. Arquette does a very bad job imitating the French-Canadian accent and the other actors are not very convincing either as criminals.
Although it is not the worst comedy I have ever seen, I still recommend not wasting any time watching it.
