......the movie isn't that good, as C-dic said........but does have some funny scenes. Too bad funny scenes don't make for a good movie.....a good script/plot would have been preferable.
I hesitate to even call this a sequel to Get Shorty. A person need not to have even seen Get Shorty to watch Be Cool. It's like it's just another chapter in the life of Chilli Palmer.....there's no real connection between the two films.
I did find Andre 3000, Vince Vaughn and the Rock funny...........and to have completely outshined the likes of John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel........which makes for a sad, sad movie.
I think "The Rock" stood out big time. I've never really been a Vince Vaughn fan though, and the whole uber-wigger angle was just painful for me to watch unfold. I never really feel embarassed for actors on screen, but the whole film just seemed so heartless, like these actors were just there for their check and going through the motions.
As ED said, no real connection. It's like F. Gary Gray took the mentality of "Friday", which I ****in' love, and tried to apply it to one of THEE COOLEST gangster flicks, IMO..ever. By cool, I mean hip, stylish, and very easy going. It just didn't work for me.
