La Cucaracha (1998)
half decent film noir
All in this was a pretty good film. There were definitely several highlights worth mentioning, namely the solid direction, great filming, Eric Robert's performance, and a unique plot. However, there were two main flaws that forced me to give this movie a 6.5. *****SPOILER***** First of all, Roberts should never have survived that shooting. Did this not bother anyone else? How often do people like Mcmanus's Louis "wipe out" a witness and just assume they are dead. Realistically Roberts would have received a final third bullet just to make sure that he wasn't going anywhere. Secondly, the dialogue was very inconsistent. Although, sharp and funny at times, it became almost silly and unrealistic at others.
However, despite these two things the movie was still worth seeing, although it could have been much, much, better if only a few small yet important changes were made.
Rat Race (2001)
Hilarious
There's no need to ramble on about all the little details of this movie so i'll keep it simple. Rat Race is a very funny movie. Period. A great comedy ensemble (Lovitz is always funny regardless of what he's doing) combined with clever writing, makes this movie a total winner. Nine out of ten.
