"Raising Arizona" type humor but the movie isn't as funny. A movie you laugh at even though you know you shouldn't. I say B-

"We are in Texas there are no accidents. There's alive and there's dead." Lorna (Gershon) is very upset with her husband Dale (Kilmer) after years of prison for robbing convenience stores he is free. She finds out that he has robbed a bank and she is upset because he isn't sharing with her. She calls her friend "Tiny" (Giddish) over to help her though her problem but things go from bad to worse. I have to say that for the most part this was a pretty entertaining movie and it made me laugh a few times but it is not anything really good. The humor is the "redneck" type of humor like the kind in "Raising Arizona" but it's not quite as funny. I've said for a while now that Val Kilmer has really gone downhill for some reason. While this is his best (and by that I mean only watchable) movie in a while his acting is terrible. Ray Liotta has been going down that road too but his acting is actually decent in this movie. This is nothing amazing but it is pretty funny in a very dark & I shouldn't be laughing at this kind of way. Overall, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. I give it a B-.

High ambitions

The movie starts off pretty good, but descents fast too. Still it is nice to see Val Kilmer in a decent role (does not happen that often, but then again he is not the main actor here and he doesn't have a lot to do either, so that might help the fact), plus Gina Gershon can show some things she might have learned during "Bound". Ray Liotta is a side note and the whole thing is very predictable.Funny enough (or not): While the movie tries to be clever, the coincidences and other things that just happen conveniently, really destroy the whole thing and make you wonder, what they were thinking. The basic idea was nice and the accents are interesting too (though some might say this is a bit of a one sided look at Texas), but the overall movie fails to impress. An extra point for trying though ...

Not as clever as it wants to be

Lorna (Gina Gershon) is convinced that her no-good husband is responsible for a recent bank robbery. She enlists the help of long-time friend, Tiny (Kelli Giddish), to help find the money. In short order, Lorna has her husband tied to a chair and shoots him in the head. Now, in addition to finding the money, Lorna and Tiny have a body to dispose of.I had never heard of Breathless until it was recommended to me by a streaming platform. The plot summary sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a whirl. Overall, I wasn't very impressed. The main problem I had is that the film is never quite as smart and funny as it wants to be. I felt like Lorna's ramblings were meant to evoke a Tarantino-like feeling, but the writing's just not clever enough. In fact, I found much of the dialogue-heavy first half of the film a bit boring. It wasn't until the scene-stealing PI (played spectacularly by Wayne Duvall) showed up that things got interesting. So, even though I liked much of the second half of Breathless, my overall enjoyment had already suffered as I was ready to throw in the towel at about the 45 minute mark.Finally, I generally like Gina Gershon, but I didn't care for her as Lorna. She gives her all to the role, but for me, she seems miscast. I don't see her as a housewife living in a single-wide in the middle of nowhere Texas.4/10.
