Mama Like

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2006)

I tried not to read too much about this film (in relation to Dog Day Afternoon) and I don't usually pay full price for films; however, I was inclined to take the plunge on the basis of combination of casting, the director and the storyline. In that specific order. The script is cleverly written and the dialog just plain fun, but you have to listen closely.
I've been a Washington fan for some time and for the past 5 or so years haven't missed a Clive Owen film to-date. Owen's professional choices in roles just get better and better with each role. Jody Foster is right on the mark. If I'm not mistaken, there is one or two cast members from Dog Day Afternoon in this film as well. You'll just have to try and find them.
I would strongly consider purchasing this film on DVD for my collection when it is released.
