Captivating movie !

Absolutely brilliant

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Although the small role Dennis Woodruff played in this film was brief, he was like a precious diamond in the rough and glittered as a character actor in his role of an F.B.I. agent. Kyle Haemig wrote a nice review as did the anonymous person too, but the best review was by Booker who really articulated the review so well, if I were a judge, First Prize would go to Booker with the others as Runner Up! I shall check and see if I can find other films with Dennis Woodruff in them no matter how small the role! I'd recommend this film also for the role played by Dennis Farina who became famous in "Crime Story" series on television which I wish they'd show re-runs.

Victor McLagen and John Carradine for a long time held the record of starring in the most motion pictures, that is until DENNIS WOODRUFF came along and not only broke their records, but starred and appeared in more than their appearances combined. Mention the name DENNIS WOODRUFF and even the extras know his name right away and his sterling reputation. Its a wonder he has not walked away with one or many Academy Awards for his fine acting and his great sense of comedy. I've been on the bus and have heard bus drivers comment as they passed the place he lived at, saying: "That is the home of DENNIS WOODRUFF and there is one of his famous vehicles!" Passengers would crane their necks to get a better view as the driver would slow down so they could all see where Dennis Woodruff resided. Sometimes you can see the great actor in Glendale at the coffee section of a well-known bookseller. This movie was a jewel and launched the careers of Dennis Farina, who greatly benefited from working with the great Dennis Woodruff. Sarge Booker (Dennis Woodruff fan)

I liked this movie because of Dennis Farina and Fran Drescher were in it, and it was before they became *really* famous..I thought it was funny when Sid and Charlie had so much trouble climbing that ladder, but other than that, it was pretty much standard fare all the way...I didn't hate it, and didn't fell asleep, but I didn't really paid much attention to it either.. so I would have to give it 5/10, see it if you don't have anything better to do.Recommended for fans of poorly made movies with okay casts.

A comedy crime caper that rates 2 - 3 stars. Dennis Farina stars as half of a team of would-be hustlers constantly looking for the "Big Score." They've hijacked pantyhose made in Korea that fit only 41/2 foot women, sold St. Christopher medals with lips that move, and other equally unsuccessful and wacko scores. Farina gives a preview of his future "Get Shorty" comedy tour de force and the pre-"Nanny" Fran Drescher is excellent as his long-suffering girlfriend. Not a lot of guffaws, but quite a few chuckles and grins. Worth seeing more than once.
