Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
How sad is this?
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
One of worst movies i have ever seen.The plot doesnt make any sense,the way that storyline evolved is terrible,is confusing and without any influence.This movie supposed to be comedy and crime and it should be sth cool and excting,but was dull and boring.I only give 2 stars because of they quit perfomance of the actors.
It's funny. It's dark. It's light and frothy. It starts out slow enough to get to know the characters and it soon becomes twisty and turns enough that you might need a scorecard to track who is after who at any given point in time. Well cast. Willis is always at his best when his tongue is kelp firmly in his cheek. Matthew Perry is his usual rather befuddled, cowardly self. Michael Duncan is BIG... and funny ... and scary ! All of the supporting players are well cast and exemplary.It's worth finding and giving a look see.
I was very confused by Bruce Willis in this movie. I was kind of expecting him to play a lunatic serial killer, like in The Jackal, since he was an assassin again, but he was very tame this time around. The movie's general theme is comedy after all, Matthew Perry's strong point, but definitely not Willis's. Willis is most at home in an action-drama role. However, Amanda Peet was clearly the film's strongest contender. She really brightens up the mood whenever she's on screen. Although, I half expected Willis to just to get bored and discard her like he would have in The Jackal, he is a hit-man after all.
After having seen Marisa Tomei win best supporting actress from "My cousin Vinny" (which I loved), I am surprised that Amanda Peet didn't get as many accolades for her performance as Jill in "Nine Yards".Her facial expressions, her enthusiasm, and her zeal for what she is doing portrayed in the film really caught my attention. Yes, she is a beautiful girl, but the channel I watched the movie on didn't show the completely nude scenes, anyway, so all I can judge is the character she played and not my own fantasies.The giddiness when meeting Tudeski for the first time, the arched eyebrows when asking Cynthia "you do?" when Cynthia says she loves Oz, the flip of her wrist when she summons the bank man back into his cubicle, the leg lock around Tudeski at the dock...how could anyone not like this girl? She seems so real and so happy with herself. I fell for the character she created, but I couldn't win in a fight with Tudeski for her affections.Great job, Ms. Peet. You nailed the magic on that one.
