"Bullets Over Broadway" is a wonderfully crafted dark comedy, written beautifully by Woody Allen.
"Bullets" is primarily a theatre story. For any lover of theatre and Broadway, this film will be a delicious treat to you. Allen crafts a witty satire about a no-talent playwright, trying to get one of his less-then-perfect dramas started with a gangster's ditz in one of the leading roles, carrying on an affair with an aging diva, and trying to control the leading man's eating habit. The film takes many a surprising and witty turn, and Allen fans will partake in it with joy.
One of the articles an Allen film usually has is an amazing cast, full of talented performers suited for the roles they play, and "Bullets" is no exception. John Cusack plays the "Allen" role, stuttering and mumbling an over the top aroma, just like Woody himself. Jennifer Tilly is gorgeoussly fitted with an incredibly annoying voice as the dumb girlfriend, the role which won her an Academy Award Nomination. But the award in 1994 went to Diane Wiest, who steals the show, as an aging stage diva. She's hillarious, and pulls off legendary one liners (Don't Speak, no, Don't Speak), so that every Allen fan came quip them at the top of their heads.
Set in the roaring twenties, in a crime soaked theatre world, Bullets Over Broadway," is a film not to be missed by any theatre fan, Allen fan, gangster fan, or anyone whose ready for a stomach wrenching laugh.
