Review of Mad Dog Time (1996) by Craig W — 24 Aug 2013

This is not your typical Sam Slade or Dashiel Hammett dime-novel-turned-movie shtick. This actually made my smile of the day.

Gabriel Byrne plays as comic relief, who knew that his wit could be turned to satire? Ellen Barkin as the femme fatale takes a gorgeous turn and Jeff Goldblum as suave Micky Holliday is cool hand luke for sure.

I did find Richard Dreyfuss a bit understated, but the rest of the cast made good in support including Billy Drago - always a villain and a wicked sense of humour.

Guns and bullets as a relief for pathos this is not, but certainly not a typical hollywood product either.
