    Kansas City Shuffle

    The film opens with 2 bookies being shot at the races, after a tip off about a horse. Then we are believed that Sleven finds his wife in bed with another man, he is then bannished from his flat, and so goes to stay at his friend Nicks apartment, but outside he is mugged and gets his nose broken, all in all I would say he is having a bad day.

    Things then go from bad to worse, when 2 men turn up looking for Nick and mistaken Sleven for him, they take Sleven to the Crime Boss, where Morgon Freeman tells him he is owed £96K, or alternatively he is to kill the Rabbi's son, the rival crime boss from accross the street, he then arrives back at the flat and 2 more chaps turn up and cart him off to see the Rabbi, he is then told he owes £30k to him, now when all this is going on we see Bruce in the background but until the end we don't really know what part he plays in it.

    The film has more twists and turns than 'The Big One' and is a very slick thriller, full of guns shots, and clever editing, the acting is great and the film is very entertaining if not a little souless as you never really get in to the characters mind. All in all I would recommend you watch this on DVD. would give this 3 and a half stars, really.

    Customer Review

    Didn't finish watching this film, I'd lost the will to live after the first 20mins. I think the producer had watched Lock Stock and Snatch and probably Pulp Fiction and thought he could pull off a similar caper. Well he didn't. Forget it.

    Fans flock to Scary Movie 4

    • 18 Apr 2006

    It may have received rather less than flattering comments from the critics but Scary Movie 4 has smashed the Easter weekend debut record at the US box office. The slasher spoof, featuring Leslie Nielsen and directed by David Zucker, brought in a massive $40.2 million. Also starring Carmen Electra, the film, from Weinstein Co's Dimension Films label and co-distributed by Disney, beat the previous Easter weekend record by more than $10 million. The benchmark had belonged to David Fincher flick... Read more
