Review of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995) by Eddie C — 31 Aug 2009
Call me crazy, but I loved this film. The only unfortunate thing is that it is constantly compared to Tarantino. I don't think that is necessarily appropriate, and I think that this film is better than any of his work, with the possible exception of True Romance.
A noirish take on mob life in Denver, with Andy Garcia as an almost priest turned smooth talking gangster, Christopher Lloyd and a gangster with leprosy, Treat Williams turning in an outstanding performance as the muscle of the team who is slightly, well ALOT crazy, and Christopher Walken as the paraplegic crime boss "The Man With the Plan".
This film is quirky, odd at times and strange. But it is solid filmmaking. Good story. Great characters. And sort of a unique world all of it's own.
