Hailed by many critics as one of the best films of 1995, this finely tuned black comedy sparked a renewed interest in movies based on books by prolific crime novelist Elmore Leonard, whose trademark combination of tight plotting and sharp humor is perfectly captured here. After the success of Pulp Fiction, John Travolta continued his meteoric comeback as Chili Palmer, a Mob "mechanic" whose latest assignment takes him to Los Angeles, where his fascination with the movie business turns into a new career as a would-be movie producer. He pitches ideas with a sleazy producer (Gene Hackman) and a major star (Danny DeVito), and also finds time to deal with a vengeful Mobster (Dennis Farina) and assorted Hollywood types (including Renee Russo and Delroy Lindo) who all want their piece of a tempting show-biz pie. The plot unfolds with enticing precision, but it's really Elmore's snappy dialogue--and the performances that bring it to life--that make this one of the best comedies of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Golden Globe(r) winner* John Travolta leads an all-star cast in the hysterical comedy thatTime calls "smart, shrewdly crafted [and] hilarious!" Loan shark Chili Palmer (Travolta) is bored with the business. So when he arrives in LA to collect a debt from down-and-out filmmaker Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), Chili talks tough...and then pitches Harry a script idea. Immediately, Chili is swept into the Hollywood scene: He schmoozes film star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito), romances B-movie queen Karen Flores (Rene Russo) and even gets reservations at the hottest restaurants intown. In fact, all would be smooth for this cool new producer, if it weren't for the drug smugglersand the angry mobster who won't leave him alone! *1996: Actor (Comedy)Get Shorty

1 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2007-01-11

Too bad there were so many great actors in this movie. I watched it because I thought it was a comedy, which it was not. I can't say it was a black comedy either. Great cast, good acting, but the idea of the movie and the end product just doesn't make it. Watching the movie was a waste of time.

4 out of 5 stars getting better.......2007-01-04

This is a great movie, very very funyn, it makes you love and hate Mr Palmer al the way through the movie, too bad the sequel was a carbon copy of it. The dvd is all about the movie, no extra features, but a great price

4 out of 5 stars Moview Review.......2006-11-04

Hilariously clever plot which glides from gangsters to Hollywood. Dennis Farina is a standout in a perfectly casted film.

4 out of 5 stars Very original comedy.......2006-10-07

This movie was well thought out and is not one of those movies wear an actor uses a catch-phrase that he did in 10 other movies.However, the sequel (Be Cool), basicly re-hashes the same jokes in this movie, with a similar storyline.

5 out of 5 stars The best movie of the 90's.......2005-09-22

Word's can hardly desribe the genius film. It is without a doubt the peak of mystery, romance, action and pure cinematic brilliance!
The fantastic screenplay perfectly shows how equally amazing Elmore Leanord's book is to the movie. It is also, by far, John Travolta's best role ever, and without him the movie would be nothing. This film is perfect for everyone, the alluring plot, amazing acting, entertaining screenplay.
It is truly, a gem.

John Travolta is the standout in this somewhat cartoonish adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel about a smalltime Miami enforcer (Travolta) who decides to get into the movie business in L.A. The cast sparkles--Gene Hackman as a failing cut-rate-movie producer, Rene Russo as a failed actress, Danny DeVito as a vain thespian, Delroy Lindo as a mobster who wants a cut of Travolta's film action--and the script is clever. But not clever enough: this isn't Robert Altman's The Player, as far as satires about Hollywood go. But director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) keeps it cute and brisk and that makes for an enjoyable experience. Travolta is great as a vaguely dangerous, supremely self-confident man whose love of movies makes him almost cuddly. The DVD release includes optional widescreen or standard formats, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, original theatrical trailer, and Dolby digital sound. --Tom Keogh

Description

Golden Globe(r) winner* John Travolta leads an all-star cast in the hysterical comedy thatTime calls "smart, shrewdly crafted [and] hilarious!" Loan shark Chili Palmer (Travolta) is bored with the business. So when he arrives in LA to collect a debt from down-and-out filmmaker Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), Chili talks tough...and then pitches Harry a script idea. Immediately, Chili is swept into the Hollywood scene: He schmoozes film star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito), romances B-movie queen Karen Flores (Rene Russo) and even gets reservations at the hottest restaurants intown. In fact, all would be smooth for this cool new producer, if it weren't for the drug smugglersand the angry mobster who won't leave him alone! *1996: Actor (Comedy)Get Shorty

1 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2007-01-11

Too bad there were so many great actors in this movie. I watched it because I thought it was a comedy, which it was not. I can't say it was a black comedy either. Great cast, good acting, but the idea of the movie and the end product just doesn't make it. Watching the movie was a waste of time.

4 out of 5 stars getting better.......2007-01-04

This is a great movie, very very funyn, it makes you love and hate Mr Palmer al the way through the movie, too bad the sequel was a carbon copy of it. The dvd is all about the movie, no extra features, but a great price

4 out of 5 stars Moview Review.......2006-11-04

Hilariously clever plot which glides from gangsters to Hollywood. Dennis Farina is a standout in a perfectly casted film.

4 out of 5 stars Very original comedy.......2006-10-07

This movie was well thought out and is not one of those movies wear an actor uses a catch-phrase that he did in 10 other movies.However, the sequel (Be Cool), basicly re-hashes the same jokes in this movie, with a similar storyline.

5 out of 5 stars The best movie of the 90's.......2005-09-22

Word's can hardly desribe the genius film. It is without a doubt the peak of mystery, romance, action and pure cinematic brilliance!
The fantastic screenplay perfectly shows how equally amazing Elmore Leanord's book is to the movie. It is also, by far, John Travolta's best role ever, and without him the movie would be nothing. This film is perfect for everyone, the alluring plot, amazing acting, entertaining screenplay.
It is truly, a gem.
