The Catch...
By Jennish (335 reviews) from Rye , 30 May 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
A mixed bag of fun carnage and annoying and tedious dialogue. About fifteen years ago critics would have waxed lyrical over this early Tarantino inspired thriller and its foul mouthed self conscious postmodernist script. Today all the film references, gags about Bruce Willis (there's even a Pulp Fiction inspired white Honda lurking about) and overly mannered swearing fall a little flat.
The cast is where this film both fails to be good and succeeds in not being dire. The shrill and irritating female gang at the heart of the plot are more reminiscent of that annoying US sorority girl who spent a semester in your halls at uni than a bunch of hardened criminals. They are balanced out by Bruce Willis as sleazy drug kingpin Mel and Forest Whitaker as his psychotic double dealing right hand man, Ronny. It is a shame to see actors of the caliber of Brad Dourif going to waste in underdeveloped supporting roles.
A quality soundtrack, a few fun scenes, and some impressive bloodshed never quite compensate for the annoying female leads, limp script and slick yet unimaginative direction.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 13 May 2013Pretty blinking dull..... despite the cast. Watched a third of it then seriously struggled to get any further. Weak plot, poorly executed.- Was this review helpful to you?

worst film ever
By a customer , 29 Apr 2013Absolute tripe,don't waste your time. Made no sense whatsoever and the dialogue was woeful. Bruce Willis shouldn't have touched this film and poor Helen Hunt never even got any lines. Fast forwarded it to the end- Was this review helpful to you?
