Summary: Cool lines, shady characters and a wicked plot
Review: This movie may not be for everyone but it wouldn't be fun if it was. Elmore Leonard fans will love this one. Leonard's trademark twists, turns and drop-dead dialogue are present, accompanied, of course, by some colourful characters; a miami gangster, a South American drug lord, a west coast drug kingpin-slash-limo driver and a shylock-turned-movie producer. Check it out.

Summary: Great performances and great script make a great movie
Review: Starting with John Travolta, this film is loaded with great performances by everyone in the cast. This story of art imitating life imitating art has fast become one of my favorites. The 'good guy' dialogue mixes well with the 'Hollywood speak' to create an atmosphere of hilarity as well as wonderful humor. I'm sure you'll love this movie.

Summary: Comedy that doesn't smirk
Review: John Travolta plays Chili Palmer to perfection, and those who say that is not a stretch do not know the man's history. Travolta, a smart guy used to playing well meaning, but dumb, guys (...Kotter, Look Who's Talking, Pulp Fiction) gets to sink his teeth into this one. As Chili Palmer, he is a shylock (not a wiseguy) who takes an opportunity to bolt the scene (which he grew casually tired of) and heads of to Hollywood to make movies, as if it is that easy. Chili knows people, and he does not waste any time making use of people who are too busy looking for an angle to head straight for what they want and get it. There he meets a like mind (if not altogether a soulmate) expertly played by Rene Russo. Gene Hackman as a wimp is a masterstroke. I never thought he could pull it off, but Hackman can flat-out act. Delroy Lindo is pleasantly venomous as one of the clueless heavies, while Dennis Farina should play in every Elmore Leonard book-turned-movie. The acting here should have been nominated for numerous awards.The soundtrack is expertly utilized as well. Many Jazz-lite tunes are used to a comic effect (I do not believe I shall ever grow tired of the effortless classic, "stink"). The cinematography, like the characterizations, is swift and direct, without the gimmicks that Sonnenfeld has sprinkled in his other movies. Screenwriter Scott Frank cuts out some characters (where is Elaine) and the original ending from the book and replaces them quite effectively, as he did with another Elmore Leonard work, Out Of Sight. My one concern is with the company that released the film in DVD form: where are the extras? I would love to find out who was poking fun at who in this film more than any other. But that detracts nothing from the film itself. It is truly a classic. With many of the pretensions of The Player (if not the cutting reality of that movie), Get Shorty shows Hollywood citizens for the idiots that those of us outside of Southern California would like to believe they are. But these same idiots made this movie too, and we watched it in droves. I willingly succumb to the irony.

Summary: JUNK
Review: I like John Travolta but this was the dumbest movie ever put on film. Hard to follow, no plot. It was horrible, worst movie I've seen. Don't waste your time or your money.

Summary: Not funny at all
Review: If you think violence is funny then you may like this movie. I don't like what this movie teaches. Don't let your kids watch it. I hate how Hollywood is starting to promote these types of movies were violence is standard. This one reminded me a little of Pulp Fiction which I felt was another bust.

Summary: LOOK AT THIS
Review: John Travolta is at his peak in this black-comedy about a gangster who wants to go into showbiz. My favorite part is when a guy takes Chili's (John Trvaolta) coat and Chii knocks on his door, and when the guy opens the door Chili punches him in the nose breking it. Then he casually walks in, gets his coat, and then walks out.
