I haven't laughed so hard in a VERY long time. And telling you what I have will not spoil it for you when you see it, as I will explain further down the page. Give it to Addams Family director Barry Sonnenfeld, by way of Elmore Leonard 's original novel, and you get a piece of movie making that good actors would sacrifice their agents to the devil to get a piece of. Bad actors would nuke small foreign countries, but I'm getting ahead of myself. For the skippee not only has the money, he has TONS of it.
Mobsters are dumb.
Film producers are dumber. There are close to half a dozen stories running and overlapping each other. All involve the Travolta character and he just smiles a vague smile and walks through it all, having the best time of his life. I think that goes for the actor as well as the character. The role of Chili Palmer fits Travolta like a glove.
