A good movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but, even though it is pretty obscure and rather forgotten nowadays, I thought it was pretty good nonetheless. Obviously, the whole thing was about having both Robert De Niro and Bill Murray playing against type. Indeed, De Niro was playing a shy lonely policeman and Murray was playing this time the mobster when you would expect them to play each other's characters. So, it felt a little bit gimmicky and the story was not really strong but I still liked it, above all, because all the actors involved gave some solid performances. Indeed, back then, Robert De Niro was not yet showing up in all these underwhelming features, he was still one of the most inspiring actors in the world and he was fine here. Concerning Bill Murray, even though the guy was always a decent actor, it would take another decade before he would really taken seriously as a drama actor thanks to ‘Lost in Translation’ but, here, he already shows that he can play against type without any problem. Finally, back in those days, Uma Thurman (who would show up a year later in ‘Pulp Fiction’) was just really charming and it was quite understandable that Mad Dog would fall for her. To conclude, even though it wasn’t really flawless, I thought it was a decent feature and it is definitely worth a look.
