5.0 out of 5 stars Underexposed Neo-Classic, September 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fish in a Barrel (DVD)

FISH IN A BARREL, eagerly borrowing from the dark comedy of Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, is an almost flawless new edition to the caper-gone-wrong, one-set, crime comedy/action genre.

What sets this movie apart from the DOGS DV clones is its wispy, broad candor -- so almost-self-referential that one cannot help from smiling, nodding the director's approach to otherwise warmed-over subect matter.

Look for fantastic and believable performances from director Kent Dalian ("you've been shooting people a lot." (while holding a cup of Ramen, in tact during a massive shooting spree)) and Jeremy Renner ("It's only been two so far.") Also, Steven Ingle and Arly Jover rock.

Big fat reccommendations on this one -- it's fun, it's serious, and then it's fun. If you're into Quentin Tarantino, I think these are the filmmakers to succeed him in hip factor, dialogue, tension, and comedy. FISH rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN AN INDEPENDENT FILM!, September 19, 2002

I loved this movie. My boyfriend got a copy of it from the NY Independent Film Festival, because it won all these awards and he made me watch it with him. At first I wasn't in the mood to watch some boy movie, but I was immediately converted during the opening scene. (Nice opening scene, by the way!) That I can be laughing hysterically while bullets are flying and that they manage to weave a love story into the middle of it all just makes me want to know what this writer/director's next film is...

Move over Quentin T. and Guy Ritchie.

ok, so here we have a bunch of hot guys, diamonds and guns. can it get any better? i don't think so. this movie makes you laugh while at the same time keeps you at the edge of your seat with clenched fists and curled toes in nervous excitement. what makes this a great movie? well, besides what i already mentioned, it has some great quotables, now that's important. Enjoy!
