This is the hardest film, I've ever reviewed, despite being an owner of a popular blog.
Is Mickey Blue Eyes a bad movie? Hell no, the script is awesome and James Cann demonstrates his actor chops that is equal to every gangster ever filmed.
What's the problem then?
Hugh Grant just can't do this role. I'm not saying he's a bad rom-com guy, he's not, rom-com is his genre. However playing a guy in peril? He's terrible and critics said the same thing
As an unfortunate mafioso, he was awful. What would Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Tom Hanks do with this role?
This film is ruined by it's star.
