Now, the question remains, who has seen this hidden gem? I was quite amazed when i saw this movie. Directed by Sam Raimi and written by Sam Raimi, Joel & Ethan Coen! I thought this has been pretty much my dream team since i first got into movies. Unfortunately, the outcome i did not like that much. This movie is a spoof comedy, its a spoof on crime movies from the 20's. I mean, expect anything less from the Coen brothers?
The movie is told in somewhat a narrative form by the main character named Vic Ajax while he's about to be electrocuted in the chair for murder. Its the story about a two business partners whom one sells the business to Renaldo *played by Bruce Campbell* under the others recognition. The one business man who didn't know of the selling then hired these 2 cartoon character like hit men to kill the other. This movie is humorous in some spots, its more of a slapstick comedy then anything else. It has some part of a love story in it also but more of a comedy/crime movie. Not much crime though, but it does have some extremely good looking shots from Raimi and of course, some spectacular dialog by the Coen brothers.
I think my biggest problems was this film was that my expectations were so high with these names attached, i expected a little more but you know what? It was still a decent film. Id recommend it highly to Raimi and Coen fans all around. But overall, just was not for me.
6/10
