Blue Iguana

This film is way out there nuts, every second of it is filled with such great weirdness that I could not help but laugh.

The real star of this movie though is the British woman who plays Katherine, Phoebe Fox, so understated and very funny.

I loved how she manipulated all the characters and was the real hero, LIKE A BOSS!

Has any Sam Rockwell project ever failed to deliver? Thought not.

Right in his smarmy, slovenly, charming wheelhouse, Rockwell carries this messy British backstabbing caper with a whiplash plot, a steady stream of ridiculous characters, plenty of yuks and plenty of blood.

How about a romantic interest who is an abominably messy eater? How about a snappy, chirpy wingman who carries a tampon for the inevitable bullet hole plug? How about a wild-eyed antagonist who sports a gloriously greasy mullet? No more spoilers. Suffice to say, there's plenty here to devour.

There's a big blue diamond at the centre of all the troubles, but that merely serves as a simple table setter for all the tomfoolery. What starts as an absurdist comedic heist, quickly turns to dangerous levels where everyone seems over their heads. Among the many small highlights littering this movie, is a chaotic pub shoot out where bottles and glasses are the chief victims. Turns out the Brits are terrible, terrible shots.

There's plenty of holes in the plot, but the free flowing vibe saves the day. Stop trying to make any sense of "Blue Iguana", and just enjoy the trip.

If you like Monty Python, if you like insanity and swearing, if you like mullets and cockney accents then this movie is for you.

There are some lines in This film that are so rude but most importantly funny in a british way that I DARE YOU not to laugh, its not intellectual humour its SILLY HUMOUR.

THE BEST OF BRITISH SILLINESS!

Despite negative reviews, I found this very enjoyable. The London/cockney setting is excellent and may well appeal to an American audience unaware of this aspect of British society and watching Rockwell trying to speak cockney is very amusing. The characters are all very quirky with their own little foibles, the plot, although a little far fetched, moves along at a good pace. Nice little touches from known actors, especially Phoebe Fox as the somewhat corrupt lawyer and Amanda Donohoe as the foul-mouthed pub landlady as well as the bad guy telling the hit team what he is going to do to them at the end made this a worthwhile journey. Although it is not laugh out loud funny, it is rather subtle in its approach and Rockwell is just Rockwell. Recommended with a bucket of popcorn and some friends and don't believe what they say.

Blue Iguana wears it's Guy Ritchie and Tarantino influences on it's sleeve, and, at first glance seems like it's just a rehash of those genre hits. Not so.

"Blue Iguana" has an unpredictably gonzo script that weaves in and out of violence, romance and absurdity with ease. It features a brilliant cast: Rockwell, the always hilarious Schwartz, Fox and the supporting cast; all are pitch perfect, (especially Schwartz, who's character could come off as annoying - he plays the part with just enough silliness mixed with seriousness - is instead endearing and absolutely entertaining). Hadi Hajaig, directing as well as writing, keeps everything taut, interesting and fluid. This is the rare genre pic that not only subverts the genre - but does it better. A truly unique and memorable film that's worth seeking out. Here's hoping this isn't the last we've seen of this motley crew.
