Summary: Just plain awful...
Review: ......disjointed...disorganized...unoriginal...overacted...was this thing ever released in theaters?...they no doubt threw in a very brief nude scene of Elizabeth Hurley to try and make up for the mediocrity of the rest of the film...Leary looked uncomfortable through the whole thing...what a waste of talent.

Summary: Just tries way too hard...
Review: ...to be oh-so-hip, so Tarantino-esque. More of an attempt to project "attitude" or "vibe" than any real or spontaneous substance. There are a few funny and satirical moments in there, but overall it has the amateurish feel of a made-for-TV movie. Result: sad waste of some prime acting talent, especially Steve Buscemi adn Luis Guzman. Dennis Leary has always been a mediocre actor with a very limited range, and he's in way over his head as the central character here. Elizabeth Hurley is gorgeous to look at but also possesses a very limited acting range, and WHAT nude scene are the other reviewers talking about? I didn't see anything more than the side of her breasts for about 2 seconds! C'mon guys, you can get more revealing pics of her on the Internet for Chrissakes! As much as I like her, it definitely WASN'T worth sitting through this one.

Review: Check out that gorgeous little Melonie Diaz!!! WOW, it's worth buying the film to watch her in her catholic schoolgirl miniskirt, pleated outfit. The film itsekf is artistic, fun, comedic, and slightly gory in a funny way... Well worth purchasing for artsy fartsy people...

Summary: Leary is at the top of his game
Review: Denis Leary(Judgment Night, Final) makes Pluto's character come to life with spazazz. Elizabeth Hurley(Bedazzled2000, The Weight Of Water) is a godess on screen as she does the chiropracter quite well and the little love scenes with her and Leary were nice but I wanted to see more of her. Donald Faison(Tv's Scrubs, Can't Hardly Wait) and that other guy, forgot his name, as they try to figure out the name of their movie and write it at the same time. They are hilarious. "as a cop have you ever seen a guy being penetrated with throwing darts in the eyeball and chin?". Luis Guzman(Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia), Melonie Diaz, Chris Noth(Tv's Law and Order, Tv's Bad Apple), and Steve Buscemi(Resevoir Dogs, Ghost World) also star. It doesnt balance itself out a bit and some of the scenes are better left out then in but the outcome and the end is great. I also liked the bit on TV when they say the redheaded kid is writing, directing and starring in his own movie

Summary: Mr. Hiassen Take Control of Your Movie Scripts!
Review: Don't watch this movie. This is the worst movie w/such quality actors I've ever seen. Steve Busceni is so under utilized its a joke. Then the parts he's in the movie, they make him act gay. I mean homosexual gay. Absolutely horrible. After you see the first "action" sequence at the movie version of McDonalds, you will wish you never started the movie (it's clear right from the beginning). There is no drama, character developement is weak at best, other then the super. The two aspiring movie writers should have just been cut out of the whole movie, they played no major part in the story, they were not funny, and they wore the same clothes every day!!!!! Elizabeth Hurley, Dennis Leary, and Steve Busceni read the script, sounded good, and the director and producer screwed the whole thing up. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. You'll be sorry, you've been warned.

Summary: UNDISCOVERED GEM!
Review: Finally a hip, funny film that's about something. Although the comedy drives the film it is ultimately the strong emotional story that resonates at the film's end. Watch it carefully; it is a deceptively simple film exploring fame, violence, guilt and (again) a certain idiocy in today's "in yo face" filmmaking. You have to buy it just to see how DiCillo's script weaves the above phrase into a classic, utterly original turnaround involving a Bowie knife stuck in a ceiling.
The film simply requires your most basic attention; give it and you'll be powerfully rewarded. DOUBLE WHAMMY is a funny twist on the cop/crime genre. The real crime is that the film was abandoned by its distributors and never released theatrically. Word on the street is that a new studio head simply smothered it to get back at his outgoing predecessor. Ironically the film just won Best Screenplay at the DVD Premiere Awards and it deserved it. As usual, DiCillo's script takes you on a rollercoaster of unexpected turns and delights.
Again, I'm amazed at how every single one of his actors delivers an incredible performance. This is constistent with all of DiCillo's films, even down to the smallest characters. Liz Hurley is a sexy revelation and Leary reveals a weathered, world-weary charm that suggests a young Steve McQueen. Paired with Steve Buscemi as a Homicide Detective going through a sexual identity crisis, the two of them make the most inspired pair of neo-noir cops I've seen to date.
Do NOT rent this movie if you expect to turn your brain off and veg out in front of the tube. Do NOT rent this movie if you think Kevin Smith and Quarantino are geniuses. RENT it if you want to experience something. RENT it if you want to see a skillfull, utterly genuine original.

Summary: Same thing as The Job, but this time an Hour and a Half...
Review: For starters this was a great film for laughs, which I did pretty dang hard (as I do with most of Denis Leary's movies, I am a die hard fan of his.) It was exactly what I had expected, a semi-spin-off plot of his TV sitcom "The Job"(which is greatly missed.) They even used some of the same gags from the ABC sitcom, like the "looking at my ass" joke/with a slightly different twist, which was from the pilot episode. There were a few differences between this movie and the show; for instance the movie was much more dramatic. Leary's wife and kid were hit by a car and died which is shown in a flashback, people get murdered left and right, and a little girl pays hit men to kill her OWN father. You would have never seen that on the show. Another would be Ray Pluto wasn't a .... like Mike McNeil was (Ray from the movie, Mike from the show.) There were some classic Denis Leary rants in the movie (he always takes a red pen and marks up the script with his own ideas on a movie set) like the nose ring guy in the burger place from the beginning of the movie (this time instead c--k ring, it was in the nose ring/remember from Lock 'N Load) or the second hand smoking during the restaurant scene (I think was referred in "No Cure For Cancer") I highly recommend this movie to anyone dying for a good laugh. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it's a comedy that will keep you laughing until the last frame. As for the plot, it wasn't Citizen Kane.

Summary: Great modern day film noir
Review: great film, like a modern day film noir. Also an extra addad bunus is the gorgeous Melonie Diaz, who prances around in her schoolgirl pleated miniskirt. Great tough guy cop, who also has a romantic side. Great mix of comedy, gore, and art.
