THE REAL MCCOY

THE REAL MCCOY



Whoa-kay. I was looking thru the movies I have that my friend Mike's dad (who is also named Mike) gave me. His dad was on this thing all not renting from Blockbuster (fuck those guys, and fuck you Aaron Spelling) and other places and just buying movies at the "previously viewed" price for years. So he ended up with all kinds of sucky and also pretty good movies. Well, he was downsizing and knowing I'm a movie buff, he went ahead and gave me most of what he had.
This was one of the movies that was given to me. So I have this crazy love for Val Kilmer that pretty much started with Real Genius (which is possibly one of the greatest nerd comedies of all time, and a good buddy flick too). Immediately when I saw that Val Kilmer was in it I was thinking "Oh shit dood, another good one where he's all slick like in the remake of The Saint and shit, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh guy, this may be alright. Or really, just what I want to watch" - A movie with Val Kilmer.
Well, it was ok I guess. I've never been much of a fan of Kim Bassinger. I mean, she was good in Nadine with Jeff Bridges but that just may be that I have a love for Jeff Bridges. Shrugs.
So she's this chick that's badass at robbing banks and she goes to jail because this dude wants her to rob a bank for her and she gets let out six years later and yeah, she has a kid that she wants to get back in contact with and boo hoo.
Guy finds out she got paroled and and it's all BAM in your face - I'm kidnapping your kid, bitch so it's time to rob a bank with me and my stooges.
Whatever, I mean, it was ok. There were plenty of things that were predictable but my most favorite was the dude that blackmails her has this affinity for animals that KILL. He has a couple of tigers on his estate so of course I thought, "Alright! I know one of these baddies is gonna get eaten by a jungle cat sometime around the end of this thing". And yeah, I was almost right. Fat chunk of a dude almost gets eaten by the tiger but they didn't show the details of his escape. I guess maybe he shot the cat with his gun or something. It was just disappointing to not see what happened in that scene. Like, if the cat attacked him and he got all mauled like in that Altar Boys movie.

I GIVE THIS MOVIE 3 NETFLIX STARS JUST BECAUSE I WAS HAPPY THAT COOL VAL KILMER WAS IN IT. BEYOND THAT IT WAS DECENT AND THINGS

Also, Val and Kimmy get away at the end and that is kind of good to see. SEE BAD GUYS GET AWAY
