An excellent black comedy, handsome thriller and a tall story that keeps you guessing as it unwinds. The genuinely ridiculous plot (a man pays a couple of goons to 'pretend' to kidnap his wife in order to get his paws on his in-laws' 'ransom' money) is completely credible as mighty plans fall apart, spiralling ever more beyond the protagonist's control and leaving us marvelling at the complex stupidity of human nature. A modern classic.

Highly acclaimed spoof introspective of Hollywood, and the film industry in general. Robbins is superb as the arrogant and offish film mogul, Griffin Mill, who is starting to lose grip of reality, and his job. Too many good scenes to mention, too many stars to name. Superb comedy of showbiz in-jokes find out more...
