Return

Rented Jerry And Tom and enjoyed it. Joe Mantegna & Sam Rockwell play used car salesmen who just happen to perform the occasional contract killing for the mob.

this movie had numerous enjoyable qualities. one such was there was true character development of the two main leads. over the course of 10 yrs, Rockwell is groomed into a decent hitman by Mantegna as he takes him along to some killings and soon enough Rockwell is doing just as many. the direction and production were also good. for me to notice them, something had to be out of the ordinary. the way one scene bled into the other a la Fargo was excellent and added a certain fluidity to the film. finally, the murder victims are all recognizable names. won't say them here, but that was a treat.

all in all, this is a recommend funny and enjoyable crime drama.
