Review of American Buffalo (1996) by Mat K — 21 Apr 2009
Play by David Marnet (who I like) starring Dustin Hoffman and Dennis Franz (both whom I like) but ...really didn't like this movie. There is no real back-story to the two lead characters (and this is a character driven film) so it's very hard to get a handle on why they are who and like they are.
Most of the film is straight back and forth confrontation between Hoffman and Franz who are planning a robbery. The thrid character in the film is played by a young boy (Sean Nelson) who hangs around the Pawn Shop that Franz runs.
Hoffmans very intense banter going on and and on (and onnnn) was annoying at best.
