Standoff


Classic take on the old "Odd Couple" movie.  The crazy shenanigans are around every corner, for some great laughs, intelligent banter, and a warm hearted tale of love and appreciation.  Well, actually, this film is none of those things but if you dig deep enough into your hipster intellectual movie mindset, you may have actually bought that load of crap!  Netflix gets it right once again with this little flick.  Not too memorable but a good one time watch when surfing through the action selection.  Fishburne, who is a really good hit man, meets his match with Jane who ends up protecting a 12 year old little girl since she witnessed a murder.  Its a good little cat and mouse with Fishburne shining in his delivery.  The writing was pretty good, and the situation was a good dose of reality.  The dialogue between Jane and Fishburne is what stole the show.  I would say there was a bit of cheese and its low budget showed but good for a one time watch for sure.

FYI:  Jane and Fishburne actually killed eachother during the filming of this movie!
