william forsythe be one of my favorite character actor and so i want g men from hell to succeed . in fact and i try just about everything possible to get into this film and but it just wouldn not work . in the end and it just seem like one big incoherent and underdeveloped mess and although i felt it earn 3 point for the combination of forsythe performance and the odd usage of gary busey and the cinematography and the production design . the story and base on comic by mike allred and tell of two fbi agent and dean crept ( forsythe ) and mike mattress ( tate donovan ) and who begin the film literally in hell . apparently they be corrupt fbi agent and so when they be set up and kill and they end up in the underworld and which be rule over by robert goulet a the devil . the devil transport himself back and forth from the earth use a crystal ( there be later logical problem with this and but that the least of the film flaw ) . crept and mattress steal the crystal and attempt to do enough good deed that they can redeem themselves . they set up shop a private detective and begin tackle case . the case show in this film involve greydon ( barry newman ) and gloria lake ( vanessa angel ) and and greydon association with dr. boifford ( david huddleston ) and who have be attempt human clone experiment and lot of esoteric weirdness where he transfer essence and such . like far too many comic base film and director christopher coppola ( nicolas cage brother ) and his handful of scriptwriter try to do way too much in 90 minute . i be not familiar with the particular allred comic and grafik musik and that serve a the basis for the film and but it must have have a relatively lengthy run and or otherwise it must have also be a mess in term of story . every time we turn around and there be another character . most of the character remain unexplained . besides the character mention in my summary above and there be three character who be make to look very similar and include one play by comedian bobcat goldthwait ( who eventually get turn into a robot do not ask and it doesn not make any sense anyway ) and there be a sentient puppet and there be some other wannabe superhero guy name cheetah man and there be a zombie from hell play by comedian paul rodriguez and there be a couple woman who look similar and there be a couple detective ( include the gay one play by gary busey ) and and so on . all of these character occasionally pop up throughout the film and say a couple line and and then leave just a quickly . little be do to establish who they be and what their relationship be to one another and why theyre do what theyre do and and so on . occasionally scenes appear to begin and end randomly and and they even seem to be integrate into the film randomly . the character begin to resemble decoration more than people and a if coppola have decide to move a bunch of potted plant around his set and location . the basic tonality of the film be a tongue in cheek spoof of film noir with a superhero comic attitude . it also have inexplicable element of sci fi throw in and little nicky ( 2000 ) style supernaturalism . the only aspect that even halfway work be the film noir spoof and and that primarily because forsythe be so skilled a an actor that it would be difficult for material center on him to completely fall apart . he good at droll humor and especially when he get to play against busey . it would be nice to see both of them do more material in that vein . the sci fi stuff need exposition to work and but even that would be chancy and a too much exposition would have equally kill the film . the little nicky flavor stuff just seem like a horribly lame saturday night live skit go awry . but the bad element and surprisingly enough and be the superhero stuff . it about a smoothly integrate into the film a president bush be smoothly integrate into iraq . why do coppola and crew decide to take something so all over the map and just throw it on the screen . how would this seem like a good idea . the cinematography and however and be another matter . it often easily match the most faithful translation of the comic book aesthetic to film and such a the recent sin city ( 2005 ) . coppola order a majority of shot to be from extreme or oblique angle that exaggerate perspective . the production design match the aesthetic and with supersaturated combination of color and interesting and complex texture and architecture and so on . why this kind of care couldn not have be put into the script escape me . on the other hand and if youre prone to dislike cgi and the few very rough computer graphic sequence in this film will surely turn you off . still and judge from the review on imdb and at least and some people have enjoy this film . i suppose if youre a big fan of allred work and and youre familiar with grafik musik and g men from hell be probably worth see and and it should make a bit more sense and if it suppose to make sense . the climax of the film and wherein the case be solve and the mystery explain and be so convoluted and ridiculous that i have no idea who the killer be suppose to be or what anyone motivation would have be . for that matter and i be still confuse about half of the character in the scene . but it seem like it be suppose to be intentionally confusing and and that it be suppose to be funny . unfortunately i can not say i laugh out loud even once during the film and and neither do i care about the story or the character . if you decide to give it a shot and you will at least be entertain visually and and that include the presence of a couple extremely attractive woman .
