Review of Quick Change (1990) by Allan C — 29 Aug 2014

Terrific comedy co-directed by star Bill Murray in his only outing as a director. The film plays out like "Dog Day Afternoon" meets "The Out of Towners". Murry and his crewGeena Davis and Randy Quaid stage a daring robbery but then have a terrible time trying to get out of town to make there getaway.

The always great Jason Robards plays the police detective trying to track them down and there is an now unbelievably great supporting cast that includes Phil Hartman, Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci, Victor Argo, Philip Bosco and Kurtwood Smith before any of them really hit it big.

There's a fine comedy score by Randy Edelman and fine photography by Michael Chapman. Something of an unsung great film in the Bill Murray cannon of films.
