Review

A star rating of 1 out of 5.

Adrian Turner

Director Brian De Palma, whom author Martin Amis once dubbed "Brian De Plasma", is a specialist in bloody thrillers, such as Carrie, Dressed to Kill and Scarface. Comedy, though, is not his forte, as most people who saw his supposed satire The Bonfire of the Vanities will confirm. Conclusive evidence that De Palma can't tell a joke is provided by this woeful, barely shown effort in which Danny DeVito plays a Mafia messenger boy and Harvey Keitel is a hotelier. The comedy is pitched so low - words rarely having more than four letters - you need a mechanical digger to find it.
