Cadillac Man

I'm watching Cadillac Man here on TV.

Funny, funny movie and proably one of Robin William's better performances.

Anyone else seen it?

What do you think?

That it was inane. Sorry-I've seen Robin Williams do better. Go watch, The World According To Garp or Good Will Hunting-much better performances.

Oh I agree, it's not his *best* performance. Hell we can toss "Good Morning Vietnam!" in the ring. But I think it's one of his "better" performances where he's not playing to farcical of a character. Were watching the story shifty womanizing adulterer of a man who ends up being a hero at the end and reconnecting with his divorced family.

I think it's an interesting, funny movie that works nicely as a "character study" which are the more interesting types of stories to me. To meet a character who's the opposite of what we'd expect of a "hero" and have them turn out to be a hero. I mean, who'd of thought that this shifty car dealer Joey O'Brien would turn out to be one of the city's best hostage negotiatiors?
