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.

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!

This Snatch/Lock, Stock heist movie was almost a good movie. If the script and dialogues had been better, the editing and directing more dinamic, this could have been a worthwhile entry in the genre. It wants to be both Ocean's 11 and a Guy Ritchie heist comedy, but the writing makes the effort come off as too rigid and unrefined. But I'll basically watch anything with Sam Rockwell and a Cockney accent in it.
Don't get the negative reviews....fun flick.....in the style of Guy Ritchie.... Kool performances...and great characters
Funny and violent in a cartoonish way...but it works.
This is a heist movie. Nuff said. The same old tired story of "a crew" who need to steal the big stone from another crew, with twists and turns that, not unlike a long road with no turnings, are pretty predictable from the get go. However, the actors shine in it, even the supporting cast is great, so in the end is just entertaining. Dumb, but fun. Even so, while I love Sam Rockwell and he was great in this, too, some of the unknown actors shone brightest. Ben Schwartz and Peter Ferdinando were great.
Now, the script was not bad, it's just that this particular genre feels really tired and stupid to me. As a heist film it was probably OK. I just wanted something that made a little more sense, story wise.
