movie review - Mad Dog and Glory
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2003.09.27
There was nothing really wrong with this movie, but it somehow didn't work. Bill Murray plays a gangster. Robert DeNiro plays a cop. Uma Thurman plays a woman beholden to Murray. David Caruso plays Murray's brawling buddy. And everything progresses without anything unexpected popping up.
This movie contains the idea of the mobster in therapy that became one of the corner stones of 'The Sopranos'. I don't know if it's the first, but it's interesting how much that stands out when watching this decade-old movie.
Not recommended.
