Plot
Summary: Susan (Nastassja Kinski) wants
her reprehensible ex-husband (Adrian Paul) dead and,
in several bungled attempts by henchmen, tries to
accomplish the deed. First her boy friend (Billy Zane)
hires two dim-witted hitmen (Michael Biehn, Rob Schneider).
Then she hires a former biker boy friend (Dan Aykroyd)
to smother him in the hospital where he is recuperating
from the first attempt. Then Zane's former wife (Lisa
Edelstein) figures out what is going on and wants
a part of the action. Lara Flynn Boyle also appears
as a hairdresser friend who gets mixed up in the plot.
Comments:
I
rented this movie becuase Michael Biehn was in it,
and found it surprisingly good. Biehn, in his first
comedic role, really shines. He brings an interesting
airheadedness to the role which is a fun change to
his usual mega-serious roles in other films. However,
the film is also filled with humorous portayls by
Lara Flynn Bolye, Nastassja Kinski and Billy Zane.
Rob Schneider, Thomas Haden Church and Adrian Paul
also give semi-funny performences, and Dan Akroyd
plays a barely believable, but funny role as "Bob".
The plot is very cliched and rather normal, but the
film is very funny and the charecters interesting
to watch. It was a very pleasent surprise, this film.
Highly reccomended to fans of Biehn, Kinski, Boyle
or just fans of good comedies.
