Crimewave (1985)
3/10
Hey, everyone! I know why this film is so neglected: It's terrible!

Warning: Spoilers
1 hour and 23 minutes of mind numbing nonsense! The jokes have no timing. The acting is way over the top. The gags are tired, and some are stolen from the 3 Stooges!! It's truly unbelievable that so much great talent in Sam, Ethan, and Joel together is responsible for this gob of muck! It was truly painful to see geniuses who have given me so many of my favorite movie experiences over the years combine to produce this hemorrhoid of a film! The two exterminator/hit men really should have worked much faster, and killed everyone in about the first 5 minutes, saving audiences from all the annoyance of actually attempting to resolve the plot lines into a sappy happy ending. Vic and Nancy should have been fried together at the end. That would have been just for inflicting so much bad acting on so many for such an extended amount of time! If you've never seen the work of these three artists before, please don't judge them by this horrible film! Rather, for the Coens, watch "O Brother, Where Art Thou", or "Fargo", or even "Raising Arizona." For Sam Raimi, watch "The Quick and the Dead", "Army of Darkness", any of the Spiderman films, or "Drag Me to Hell" If you haven't seen this hunk of drain clog, just say "No!" To bad films, even when they are made by great filmmakers!
