Writer: Richard Price
Cast: Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Bill Murray, David Caruso
A mob boss develops a friendship between a cop who saved his life and sends a woman to take care of him for a week. They fall in love and causes problems with the mob boss, played by Bill Murray.
Both Bill Murray and Robert De Niro play against their type in this film. De Niro was offered the role of mob boss but he opted for the Mad Dog because of its meekness. It is really a funny film with both the characters being very lonely individuals facing mid life crisis. The humor is subtle and the first sex scene between Mad Dog and Glory being the highlight. The plot is really contrived but it is really about the characters. It didn't do well at the box office and is still very underrated.
Rating: 4.5/5
