This movie was slow and uneventful the plot perdictable and old.
Robert Denero(sp) plays a police photographer. He works nights. He Lives
alone, quiet and lonely for 15 years. After a crime scene he goes to a
store to by twinkies for a cop back at the headquarters. The store is
being held up. Maddog (Denero) talks the bad guy into leaving quietly
and not shooting the shop owner. It turns out he already shot the
store owner and he saved the life of big Maffia guy named Fank the
MoneyStore (played by Bill Murry). Frank tries to become his bested
buddy and loans him a girl Glory (Ulma Thurman) to be his friend
and make him happy for one week.
They fall in love but Frank owns her. How Maddog get Glory free
of Frank and the relationship between all three people make an ok but
perdictable movie.

Directed by John McNaughton, who is best known for "Henry: Portrait of
a Serial Killer". I believe he also did "The Borrower" (with Rae Dawn
Chong) and a concert film of Eric Bogosian.

I thought the movie was enjoyable enough. It didn't explore the deeper
complexities of life, but what the hell... I felt that the 3 main
characters were overshadowed by two of the supporting cast. I liked the
partner cop, and I loved Bill Murray's chauffeur. The way he came out
with some of his lines was excellent. "Don't worry, it's not a bad
thing. It's a good thing." "Your friend, he's *very* sarcastic."

Predictable, but still enjoyable. Frank (Bill Murray) has some
interesting facets. He doesn't \really/ like being Frank the Moneystore
but, like DiNero, doesn't really want to change either. The supporting
cast was great but even without them I'd have enjoyed the movie. ANY
movie that features this much Uma Thurman is worth watching.
