The funniest man and one of the only true autuers left in the United States does it again. His attack on Hollywood is ruthless. Do not listen to any of the negative reviews. They are all missing the point. (For example, The Fish story is not supposed to be funny. That is the whole point of the movie!!)Great story, each scene is hilarious, and Sharon Stone is casted perfectly as the very annoying Muse. Do not miss this one!
Altman really hit on a good thing with his short films written by Harold Pinter. The film effectively contrasts Conti's brilliant acting skills with the non-existent skills of John Travolta. Travolta's awful british accent is worth the price of admission alone! (I am sure this is all intentional - a real Altman touch) Travolta plays a hitman! And we all thought the Tarantino was the original one with that idea. A genius story that is excellently paced. For a great time, view this wonderful artistic piece.
I do not understand why this move was slammed critically. Great premise and great cast. Very funny movie. A must for all anglophiles. Highly recommended.
