Return

Rented Gun Shy this past weekend. i didn't really like it. i didn't really dislike it. i basically just didn't care from start to finish. the film didn't give me any reason to do so.

Liam Neeson stars as a cop so far undercover he needs enemas from Sandra Bullock because Oliver Platt is scary and the drug guys need money laundered thru the guy from Caroline In The City.

it turns out to be about as interesting as it sounds. translation: not very

this is billed as a "Comedy" and for the life of me, i don't understand why. possibly because none of the other genres wanted it. Platt was very good as the odd, yet-aspiring-to-be-more villain. Bullock was good as the odd, yet-loveable-flake-who-happens-to-be-a-nurse. Neeson was good .... etc

the problem was the script had no pizzazz and the direction sure didn't spice it up any. all in all, a lack-luster movie in which the actors are better than the material.
