DadGuy's rating
The director has, on a low budget, created a tight script, with beautiful timing. Rapaport plays a pro wrestler (whose persona is "The Naked Man")/chiropractor who is thrust into responding to an attempted gangland takeover of his small town. Wonderfully acted from the chain smoking cynical cops, to the paraplegic gangster, to his Elvis impersonating enforcer, and finally to the biker girlfriend follower. All the little bits were perfect and the movie was a hilarious comedy.
Loved the movie, saw it twice. Great action with enough plot to keep it interesting. Found it very interesting that a major studio would acknowledge that Mohammed's Arabia was the center of literature, culture and civilization in the middle ages while Western Europeans were living in mud huts or caves. Also loved the sequence showing him learning their language. Lots of levels on which to enjoy this film. 8/10
