Redactie

Een actie-komedie van Jonathan Lynn, regisseur van onder meer Sgt Bilko en My cousin Vinny, met in de hoofdrollen Bruce Willis (Bandits, 12 monkeys, The sixth sense) en Matthew Perry. Perry is een goedhartige, onhandige tandarts die woont in een chique buitenwijk van Montreal. Hij herkent in zijn nieuwe buurman (Willis) een beruchte huurmoordenaar en gaat op aandringen van zijn onuitstaanbare vrouw (Rosanna Arquette) naar Chicago om hem aan te geven bij zijn vroegere maten. De plot is ingewikkeld - iedereen wil iedereen vermoorden - met intriges, romantiek en geweld. Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times, i) vindt dat er goed geacteerd wordt, met name door Amanda Peet als tandartsassistente. Zijn conclusie is: 'I know this is not the greatest comedy of all time (...), but I was entertained beyond all expectation. (...)' De dvd bevat geen extra's.
