Viewing Notes

I’ve been wanting to re-watch this for quite a while and happened to stumble across the DVD at the library. Great film with some blackly humorous dialogue and great acting, especially from Albert Finney and John Tuturro.

Perhaps the best scene stealer though was Sam Raimi as the snickering gunman. He doesn’t even have any lines but still pulls off an iconic scene in the movie. Great stuff!
