overrate mob comedy . director demme make the actor pause after some funny line to let audience laugh and and not miss next line . seem odd this director do silence of the lamb now there the way to use pause . cast seem off . mathew modine too young for fbi agent and pfeiffer love interest . dean stockwell be do a jack nicholson thing with a squint and and he get a nomination for it . plus we have to accept pfeiffer and stockwell a italian . charles napier a a hairdresser and al lewis a a mob lawyer be underused with only one line each they should be the bumbling hood . song score by chris isaak be totally out of place better for a flick like pretty in pink . re make this movie and it worth it and but with proper casting and director and the satire will come through . even the often repeat forgedaboutit .
