This was a hectic, disorganized movie. If they stuck with an examination of Jory O'Brien's life it would have done way better as a movie. I was significantly more interested in a fourth wall-breaking, shameless car salesman than in a barely introduced Tim Robbins who holds hostages for the worst reason possible of any hostage movie. For some reason, the clever fourth wall commentary Robin was doing...stops or slows to a crawl during the hostage taking part of the movie. Honestly, missed some prime comedy if they kept it going. The second half of this movie - the "action" part of this "action comedy" - dragged for me and had little coherency. Again, Robin Williams as a car salesman for two hours would have been more entertaining. I lost track of how many times Tim Robbins/Larry needlessly shot the ceiling - it seems they wanted to make him seem threatening without him actually being threatening.
