IMDB

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Jayne Nelson

It's hard to go wrong in casting Ed Harris and Bill Murray as mortal enemies. A sprawling story in which a family of hitmen and murderers come together for New Year's Eve, this caper is multilayered, hilarious and very violent. After a mysterious incident, Rocco (Lewis Pullman) and his pregnant girlfriend (Emanuela Postacchini) are being hunted by crime lord Lefty (Murray) and seek refuge with Rocco's dad (Harris). Cue lots of arguments, recriminations and dysfunctional family angst. There's so much character-building, flash-backing and plot-meandering that this feels more suited to a leisurely miniseries than a bulging 100-minute film. Appropriately enough, Jennifer Coolidge (following her turn in HBO's The White Lotus) graces us with her presence, bringing her usual off-kilter shtick. Miraculously, despite the complexity it's still a fun trip without growing overwhelming, while its sprinkling of Hollywood royalty adds a touch of class.
