Be Cool Reviews

Honestly, I never understood why 'Get Shorty' is considered such a cult-classic. I mean, I thought it was ok but nothing mind-blowing but maybe I should check it again at some point. Anyway, In the mean time, I have watched this sequel even though it was poorly received. Unfortunately, the whole thing was not really good, it was even pretty average I’m afraid. First of all, I think it was really a cheap shot to put Travolta and Thurman together and to make it sounds as if it was an awesome combination like in the good old days of ‘Pulp Fiction’, probably the only great movie they both made (yeah, I’m not a huge fan of ‘Kill Bill', don’t start with me on this subject…). Basically, both their characters were not interesting on their own, they were still not interesting when they were together either and I didn't care much about the story. To make things worse, some of the supporting characters were truly annoying (for example, Vince Vaughn) but some others were pretty good (for example, Dwayne Johnson which shows that, giving the good material, the Rock could actually be a pretty cool actor). To conclude, even though I have seen worse movies, the whole thing was really misguided, it is an average flick and it is not really worth a look.
