So many readers had panned this movie that I had really lowered expectations to "this might be fun." Perhaps for that reason, I was pleasantly surprised. I had not, btw, seen Get Shorty.
The movie was much more engaging than I expected, and even though our DVD had technical difficulties, we kept watching. It was a bit of mindless fun, with a couple of very cool surprises (I don't think these qualify as spoilers, though).
It is great to have a gangster driving an eco-friendly hybrid car. And the special appearance by Brazilian music great Sergio Mendes was a special treat, especially with Travolta and Thurman dancing as he plays.
