Review of Miami Blues (1990) by Art S — 24 Sep 2016

- Just watched this for the 2nd time in the last couple years, but on Blu-ray this time. I first saw it in theatres as a kid and it stuck with me. It is a crime-thriller, but with a ton of humour. All3 leads are outstanding, Fred Ward in particular is hilarious. Alec Baldwin also does a great job in his role as the criminal, he exudes menace, but also charm and humour. I can't think of too many films that would fall into this category, but a few that are closest are all Elmore Leonard, "Jackie Brown", "Out of Sight" and "Get Shorty". If you like any of those films, check this out!

- I first saw this in theatres and have seen a few times, but hadn't watched in ages. I really like this one. Fred Ward is just perfect as the Homicide Detective and skinny Alec Baldwin has a lot of fun with his role. Check it out!
