User Reviews

One rightful, single watch - to be mixed with other activities

I caught this movie one sunny sunday afternoon ( why do people always watch tv on dreary ones, i wonder ) with the intent of giving it some glances while doing something else. The plot, as amusing as it may be, seemed too weak to sit through doing nothing. I was right. The modern presentation of the underworld is just silly, the characters as flat as roadkill & the ending particularly weak because it had but to string the twists together. Some points make this watchable : Robert Towsend(though he's most hindered by his lines), the metamorpfosis tricks played on the Kid, and the joke during the end credits - predictable within 4 seconds of course, but still a nice effort.
