"They say the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets." A delightfully funny film based on the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name, Get Shorty stars John Travolta as Chili Palmer, a wisecracking loan shark from Miami who goes to Hollywood to collect some debts for a mobster, including from film director Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman). Palmer gets involved in the Hollywood life, falls in love with an actress (Rene Russo), and attempts to get a movie made with Zimm that will star a famous actor (played by Danny DeVito). This is a great little gem, and is good fun for film viewers of all ages (except for young children, as this is rated "R").
Rating: 3.5/4
