I remember seeing this movie in the video store, but never actually watched it, so when the Kino blu-ray for it went on sale super cheap, I decided to get it, but was sadly disappointed. Despite a solid cast and being written and directed by Jim Kouf, who wrote the funny "Stakeout" and "Rush Hour" along with writing the excellent sci-fi flick "The Hidden" along with being the creator of the excellent TV series "Grimm," this movie really disappoints and ends up being a heist comedy that forgot to be funny. Big city gangsters Fred Gwynne, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rubén Blades, William Russ, and their leader Corbin Bernsen plan to rob a bank in a sleepy Montana town. Of course, things don't go as planned, mainly of which is New Jersey detectives Ed O'Neill and Daniel Roebuck arrest Bernsen before the robbery, leaving his minions to try to pull off the heist without their leader. The Montana setting is charming and unique, but that only goes so far. Gwynne and Blades are the standouts in the film, who manage to bring some level of dry humor to the film, but it's not enough to salvage a disappointing unfunny comedy that I think had the potential to be a sly comedy along the lines of "Midnight Run" or "The Hard Way." Skip this one.

This is a mediocre film with some good, or at least we'll known, actors. But, the acting is not very good, and it lacks good pacing -- many setups and scenes are not given enough attention, while other boring scenes take up time. But the script is actually pretty good and it's worth a watch it you enjoy caper comedy films.

Immoral and disparate, the story that is meant to be funny, follows dialogues and incoherent situations without ever convincing. The result is that boredom and weariness spoil our pleasure. I feel I've wasted my time watching this failed movie.
