Gigli aspires to the comic noir style of the Elmore Leonard adaptations Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The intent, one imagines, was to integrate black humor and sexy banter with some shatteringly violent moments. But what emerges is desperate — and occasionally offensive — salaciousness merged with corny, predictable jokes.
Many of you know that I think J Ho is the spawn of satan...and Benny seemed so sweet and nice, until be became the lap dog of the spawn of satan....so them getting a bad review in my eyes is a good thing...I was getting so sick of seeing stories about how wonderful j ho is...this is a breath of fresh air.
