A Strange Dark Comedy: But Not For Everyone!.......2006-10-30

"Susan's Plan" is not for everyone. I happen to think the film is a lot funnier and entertaining than some of the reviewers have written. The film is not available to my knowledge in the USA on DVD format. So if you are able to, get it if you can. However, as a word of caution, rent it first, it may not be suitable for all audiences. The film has a very well known cast, and I found some of the characters to be pretty darn funny. The plot revolves around Susan (Natassja Kinski) who pays to have her ex-husband killed in order to collect a large amount of money on his life insurance, which he has yet to change.

The hitmen are a couple of idiots who are also very good friends. Both the hitmen are played by Michael Biehn [of Aliens and Terminator] and Rob Schneider. They are both very comical. However, when they try to kill Susan's ex-husband, he survives [even though he was shot 3 times at point blank range]. Therefore, Susan tries to fend off the police investigating the shooting, while still attempting to have him killed. The police know about the life insurance, and since her divorce with her former husband was bitter, they suspect her of the shooting. The cops are funny too!

The film takes on some pretty hilarious interactions between Susan and the hitmen who must continue to finish the job. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, played by Billy Zane, also tries to finish the ex-husband off. Dan Aykroyd portrays a lover of Lara Flynn Boyle, who as a biker is also hired to finish the ex-husband off. All the characters are stupid, due to the fact that they are not hitmen; but regular Joe's who are hired to do something that they have never done before. The film is not for all tastes, therefore, caution is recommended. It may not appeal to your tastes. However, I thought it was funny and entertaining. Recommended with caution. [Stars: 3.5]

So misunderstood!.......2001-12-01

It seems like too many people don't understand the simple fact that this movie is not about the plot! It's not supposed to make sense! The entire movie is one giant nonsensical joke. It's kind of like Andy Kaufman and the fact that everything he did was all a part of an hilarious prank pulled on millions of people. This movie is a joke, and we--the viewers--are the punchline. It is meant to be like that. But then again, I guess if it weren't for people who hate the movie, it wouldn't be funny to people like myself.
For anyone who understands John Landis, this is a must-have!

Revolting, Goofy, stupid, rediculous. I LOVED IT!.......2001-07-21

With a cast like this, you can only expect a flop. Yet these reviewers who dumped on this flick musta watched something else, 'cause this movie, although not innovative, was an enjoyable romp into the outer-limits of these talented actors' range. If you didn't like this movie, then go watch the Talented Mr. Ripley, then come back. Compared to that movie, you can enjoy anything...

AMAZING CAST, okay plot (a few holes).......2001-01-21

The other reviewers do make a few good points. I'll admit, this not an amazing film, but I certainly enjoyed it. Watch it once and its kind of difficult to grasp. Watch it again, and everything comes together. A third time, and the film is just as good. A good cast brings comedy (not amazing, but worthwhile) to the film. All of the actors are well-cast and play their parts well, making a slightly shaky plot a lot more believable. This movie is not torture at all (as other reviewers said), and it is perfect for rainy days. I definentaly reccomend it.

Save your money.......2000-07-02

This movies is SO BAD, my true rating would be 5 black holes. It looks like it ought to be good--John Landis, the actors, but trust me, this would have to get way better to become merely BAD. Think three stooges, with PMS and guns. I got this because I am an Adrian Paul fan; I know some film work is better than none, but if you too are a fan, save your money and watch some old Highlander episodes. This actually hurt to watch.
