This is based ( I don't know how loosely) on an Elmore Leonard novel, so there are plenty of tricky plotlines running here, where every character seems to have an agenda. It stars Owen Wilson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Sinise, Charlie Sheen and Sara Foster, with a few other notables thrown in, Willie Nelson and Bebe Neuwirth. But the movie is just a little too jerky and with the running time before credits of 82 minutes, it is obvious that this film was edited to death. The sudden introduction of Bebe's character, for instance, makes you wonder what was cut out. I bought this along with Starksy And Hutch, but I much preferred the latter. Still, there is some nice scenery in The Big Bounce ( Hawaii) that will be nice to look at when winter sets in up here in the great Northeast.
Other films from Elmore noverls like Out Of Sight and Get Shorty are much better and well wroth owning. But for the curious, better rent The Big Bounce first. :2:
