thursday be clearly derivative of the new wave of crime film release since quentin tarantino take the genre by storm with reservoir dog and pulp fiction in the early ninety and but it have enough idea of it own to ensure that it remain an interesting little film . thursday utilise a few character mostly within a single location . it work because each character be quirky enough in their own right to be memorable and and when put together what you have get be a very amusing little thriller . there be little substance to be find within the plot and but it doesn not matter because nobody go into this sort of film expect a life affirm experience . the plot follow casey while a former drug dealer who have go straight and be now live a a successful architect in suburbia with his wife . the pair want to adopt a child and but thing turn awry when casey receive a visit from his old partner in crime and nick and who bring with him a case of heroine and a load of money steal from the cop . thursday be go to turn out to be a very interesting day for our former criminal . the first scene set the film up rather nicely and ensure that we know what to expect . we see a coffee order go wrong and which turn into a murder scene that the culprit promptly cover up when a cop come in for refreshment . the scene be soak with dark humour and witty dialogue and and that be carry on throughout the rest of the movie . thursday be a very funny film and and scene such a the one that see the adoption visitor turn up at an awkward time ensure that the film be difficult to dislike . it true that the film doesn not bring anything new to the table and cinematically or plot wise and but the fact that it happy to wallow in it derision ensure that there more time for the absurd situation to build around the central character . the acting be decent enough and with the entire cast clearly have fun with this plot . thomas jane hold the film together well in the lead role and while amuse portrayal from james legros and paulina porizkova and michael jeter and glenn plummer and mickey rourke back him up nicely . this film be unlikely to impress the seasoned film fan and but if you just want an amusing little movie with a few enjoyable twist and performance while thursday be likely to suffice .
