The first 30 minutes or so of this black comedy sucks, big time, before
rather weirdly picking up with the appearance of an uncredited Chris
Pine as the mad, bad and very dangerous to know billionaire limo driver
Patrick Wilson is tasked with driving around LA. Of course, there is
more to it than that; this is a crime caper and in poor taste and while
there are no belly-laughs there is a good deal of sick humour as well as
a surprisingly good performance from an unlikely cast Wilson. There's
also a neat cameo from Ray Liotta who plays himself as the smug, arrogant actor I'm sure he's not.I have been reviewing films all my life, semi-professionally in the past and for the past 10 or 12 years on imdb and more recently in letterboxd and facebook. The idea of this blog is to get as many of those reviews gathered together in one place. I have had a great deal of support and encouragement from a lot of people throughout the world and I hope that continues. Now for the ratings. **** = not to be missed. *** = highly recommended. ** = recommended. * = of interest and no stars = avoid..
