Mad Dog and Glory description Now here's a switcheroo: In a movie about a mild-mannered police photographer who is befriended by a swaggering gangster, Bill Murray plays the gangster and Robert De Niro plays the photographer. Directed by John McNaughton from a script by Richard Price, this comedy-drama has its moments but never quite lifts off. De Niro plays a shy type nicknamed Mad Dog who accidentally saves Murray's life. In gratitude, Murray "gives" him a girl, Glory (Uma Thurman), who is supposed to satisfy his needs and make him feel good. Instead, the photographer falls in love with her. When the gangster wants her back, the photographer says no, triggering an unlikely showdown. Murray is scarily funny as a mobster who wants to be a standup comic, but De Niro plays this nonentity as, well, a nonentity. Thurman is luminous; who wouldn't want to fight over her? --Marshall Fine |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Dissappointing follow up to Henry: Portrait of a Serial killer |
| Bill, Uma, and even the super stud of cinema Bobby D fall from grace and glory in this pathetic followup to the gore extravaganza Henry. This tries to be a comedy, action mob movie, and a romance--it fails on all accounts.
A cop named "Mad Dog"(Deniro)saves a mob boss(Murray) and gets a nice token of appreciation--the beautiful bartender named Glory(Thurman). It's just a week long gift though, and Mad Dog doesn't want to give the luscious present back. I'm not sure how this isn't at least mildly entertaining--even the acting(gulp)is bad. You do get to see the lovely Uma naked though, which justifies my 2 star rating. Anyway, go to the liquor store and pick up a couple bottles of Strawberry Banana Mad Dog to go with this film, it might help. |
