Genres: Comedy

Aroview: Adapted from a cheerily hardboiled novel by Elmore Leonard, this sees petty-crim Wilson washing up in Hawaii, when a tempting swindle lands in his lap.

Acting as a dogsbody for a retired judge (Freeman), he gets involved with a bikini-clad femme fatale who has a lucrative plan hatching. Like dir. Armitage's other films, this is lazily balanced between suspense and comedy and may well find you in the right mood. Note: Leonard's book was also filmed in 1969.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Its not as bad as it looks - Wilson is not too bad in this and not irritating for once - having Morgan Freeman in a number of his scenes probably helps. There are some good cameos that add interest. ~Tubbs
