Review of Mad Dog and Glory (1993) by Agnès P — 01 Jun 2009
It's a gimmick, but a gimmick done well: Bill Murray and Robert DeNiro playing against type in a role better suited for the other (i.e. DeNiro the loveable loser and Murray as the tough, ruthless mobster).
Both actors work well fitting into their roles, as DeNiro gives Wayne an awkard meek portrayal while Murray is able to command authoriton, attention and a sense of fear whenever he is in view. It's an interesting black comedy, but not for everyone.
Finally, David Caruso steals each scene he is in as Mike, the cop with a smartass attitude and a penchant for starting fights with people twice his size.
