i love barry sonnenfeld a a nice crazy director and although all of my friend dislike a lot of his work but i have always love his distinctiveness and advanced capability in not too many movie like ( men in black 1997 ) or ( wild wild west 1999 ) or a a producer of the brilliant tv series ( secret agent man 2000 ) . yes and he be not one of the great now but i think he hasn not have the real big chance to prove that he could be one of the immortal fun maker . but here . it simply his bad . i want to know indeed what in here to be watch . and where be the plot . and what about . and and what the beauty of it ( if there be a beauty in it at all . ) . i have read that john travolta after he come back to life by the force of ( pulp fiction 1994 ) and he be agree to whatever quentin tarantino strengthen to him . and i be not sure about tarantino kind of taste . so it nothing unusual to have a movie by travolta like ( get shorty ) . not only because the star in it i have watch this for 3 time . but mainly to understand why on earth they make it . it not a crime comedy and of course it not a thriller ( like you will read in the column of genre at the main detail page in our very site . ) and and it not originally a drama with meaning . so who shorty . and and why would we get him . oh it a complete waste of time with a lot of after the strange success of pulp fiction ego or false confidence which produce very empty movie like this . the only thing that have be save and deserve watching be represent the scene in which rene russo take off her clothes and we get to see her long beautiful leg and her colored panty as well . plus that other scene where bette midler tempt gene hackman . though unfortunately both of the 2 scene have be delete from the movie by our censorship . so for me and watch that movie be nothing but search for something which non existent and and i mean fun . by every sense of the word .
