This film, starts as a routine cops and robbers shoot-em up, quickly turns into something quite different (and quite amusing) but then fails to go anywhere. The plot is intriguing enough that you expect a twist, a surprise, a hook at the end. But no. It concludes with a whimper and not a bang. However Bill Murray is always fun and Robert De Niro is always good (although Uma Thurman's performance pales against those of her two male co-stars.) Having said all that, it's entertaining enough. I even added a couple of jokes from the film, one of them told by DeNiro, to my repetoire. ("My wife thinks that fondling and cooking are cities in China." Not bad.) There also is some snappy dialogue. I was pondering a six or seven as I watched it but the wimpish ending knocked that back to a five.
