Excellent film, pretty weird!!
11 December 2004
I watched this film the other day - it was on Sky movies and I decided to check it out. Basically Salma Hayek is a detective for a case about the ancient Chinese coins stolen from a museum, the 'Shiney New Enemies'. The bloke from Road Kill is the main guy - a suicidal hairdresser - and he plays the part so well. Elijah Wood plays a 'hard-boy' hit-man, but really he's just a big softie. The hairdresser comes across these coins after 'killing' the man who stole them, somewhat accidentally. His nephew Scottie swallows them and he wants to take Scottie to France to 'fence' the coins, which will be pooed out in 24 hours or so. It reminded me of a cross between All I Want (or Try 17 in the US) and... er... a crime movie. Very well worth watching!
