Why this got high ratings I cannot begin to imagine.
This film should have been titled: Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest - with the cop being "Dumb", Alec Baldwin's character "Dumber" and the hooker as "Dumbest." The characters in this film do some rather odd things from time to time that make little sense.
The plot is pretty much non-existent--it's basically just watching these three characters do various scenes, until it reaches it's rather obvious conclusion.
I watched this film because Alec Baldwin was in it. The film was made in 1990 and Alec has actually gotten better looking as he's gotten older. I don't like his hair in this film, it's cut too short on the sides.
Alec plays this weirdo ex-convict and the film consists of him just kind of going around robbing and beating up people.
He takes up with a hooker, a rather plain-Jane girl who must have been born with the word stupid stamped on her forehead.
The cop is looking for Alec after Alec kills a Hari Kirshna who was pestering him at an airport, by breaking his finger. You read right, Alec breaks the guy's finger and he falls down dead. Why? Beats me. This was never explained.
The cop befriends Alec and Susie, the hooker, and even stays for a supper of pork chops, behavior that struck me as a little odd.
The killing and robbing continue with Alec after he manages to relieve the cop of his badge, along with his false teeth.
The only thing I can figure is that this was supposed to be some kind of comedy crime caper, only it isn't particularly funny. None of the characters in the film are even remotely likable, and I really didn't care what happened to any of them.
Three stars out of Ten.
