Quick Change (1990)
7/10
Delayed Departure

Bill Murray both stars and co-directs(along with Howard Franklin) this droll comedy that sees Murray play a non-violent bank Robber(dressed as a clown) named Grimm, who, along with his two accomplices Loomis(played by Randy Quaid) and Phyllis(played by Geena Davis) pull off a successful heist, but find that they can't leave the city and get to the Airport, as all kinds of problems and obstacles are thrown in their way, and they end up involved with a real gangster(played by Kurtwood Smith). Meanwhile, the Police Chief(played by Jason Robards) does his best to track down the clown... Morally dubious at first(they did rob a bank after all!), this redeems itself by making the three leads' desperation to escape the madness of New York quite endearing, with many funny scenes and ideas, and the three robbers(especially Grimm) end up as crime-fighters by the end!
