Review of Freebie and the Bean

This was really something. There was so much that this movie could be, just visible under the surface, but instead you get a mean-spirited agglomeration of absurdly violent spasms. Not in a meaningful, impactful way of a Tarantino, but rather boring and drawn-out. I do give an ounce of credit for the movie demonstrating that innocent bystanders really would get mowed down in a car chase, but why does it have to be treated with (attempted) humor here.

Would have been nice if Loretta Swift and Jack Kruschen were in this move more. Instead an extended irrelevant scene of some hick gorilla wrecking a motel, we could have gotten more plot relevant, and entertaining, scenes with Kruschen or Swit.
