Get Shorty Review
Peopled with a large cast of fascinating characters, Get Shorty is a sharp, funny look at the not-so-separate worlds of crime and Hollywood. Director Barry_Sonnenfeld and writer Scott_A._Frank capture the intricate plotting and masterful dialogue of Elmore_Leonard's novel; as Chili, the gangster itching to get into the movie business, John_Travolta follows up on the relaxed charm he exuded in his previous film, the career-reviving Pulp_Fiction (1994). Though other movies have taken satirical stabs at the entertainment world, few have so gleefully portrayed the corrupting nature of the industry's promises of fame and fortune. Shorty is not a dark, nightmarish vision of Hollywood like The_Player (1992) or The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), but a comic exaggeration of the appetites and personalities on display in the real thing.
