Quotes

Elwin Worrel: You know, Virginia's mother gave us these dishes when we got married. Christ, 21 years ago, I hated these God-damned dishes. they got rosebuds on 'em like a little girl's tea-set you know. All that time, you know, you get through your mashed potatos, and you wipe your gravy, and there's those god-damned rosebuds lookin' at ya!

great non-crime Elmore Leonard
27 September 1998 | by (Ellicott City, MD) – See all my reviews

Occasionally Elmore Leonard writes about something other than the underworld. Here his wonderful dialogue and amusing characters are centered around, not a bank robber or ex-con, but a young man who receives miraculous stigmata. The tone is stirical and the comedy is quite dark; definitely worth a look. After Get Shorty Hollywood seemed to finally get how to translate Leonard to the screen, and Touch certainly belongs in the company of Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, and Out of Sight. The cast is perfect in this one, with Skeet Ulrich and Bridget Fonda the best they've been so far, plus Christopher Walken in full glory, and Tom Arnold (yes, That Tom Arnold) just dead on as a religious zealot. This one didn't get much of a theatrical run so go find it at the video store.
