Get Shorty (1995)
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo
Synopsis:
A loan shark travels to LA in search of the money he's owed and decides to get involved in the movie business.
Impressions:
This is a highly entertaining film about the misadventures borne of multiple plots piling up like cars on the freeway carried by an ensemble cast of colorful characters. There's some nice satire of Hollywood culture, which I always enjoy. The dialog is really good. I particularly like the back-and-forth about Rio Bravo versus El Dorado. Director Barry Sonnenfeld would later go on to make the similar (and also entertaining) Big Trouble. I had fun with it and I think you will too. Give it a watch.
