comcast cable list this movie a a comedy . imdb list it a comedy or drama . i find no comic moment in it . yes and the bill murray character attempt some stand up comedy . but his joke be flat and his delivery too . it also fail a a drama because we really get no explanation for the behavior of the character . how do the police crime scene photographer ( de niro ) earn the nickname mad dog . be it normal for crime scene photographer to carry weapon and to interact socially with detective . why do the mob bos ( bill murray ) attempt to do night club comedy . why do the mob bos henchman take his scotch with milk . what with the mob bos take advice from a psychotherapist . there be a couple of slug fest scene between cop and the mob and with kick to the rib when someone be down and head bump into wall and etc . yet injury be only superficial and no broken bone or concussion and just a few cut .
