fordhim It seems nobody could make a crime movie between 1994 and 2000 without being accused of copying Quentin Tarantino. Granted, his movies are great, but scoffing at any movie that has an ensemble cast of decent actors in a story that involves guns and money is just robbing yourself of entertainment. I admit there are a lot of copycat movies out there and some are really crappy, but you have to judge each one on it's own merit. I consider Montana and Things to do in Denver when you're dead to be two great exceptions. They're just too damn fun to watch for me to be so critical of them. Maybe that's just me though. I try to find things that mean something to me in every movie I watch.I love Tarantino as much as the next guy, but how can you not enjoy Kyra Sedgewick beating and shooting people. You just don't see that everyday.

Jessica-37 Montana was a great movie! Ethan Embry's role as Jimmy was fantastic. Stanley Tucci also was wonderful at playing his character, Nick. The violence was not as bad as I expected and the story line was very good. Over all, if you like this type of movie, you must see Montana. :P

Giggi I thought it refreshing to see Kyra Sedgwick in a grittier role. If you can get past the near-incessant violence, it's not an altogether bad movie, with an interesting supporting cast, especially Stanley Tucci in a truly standout performance, the best I've seen of his acting to date, and really makes the film better than it probably deserves. The movie is worth seeing just for his bit. He and Sedgwick have good chemistry as criminal colleagues who love each other. It's also good to see a movie where two women from different corners of the criminal world (the boss's girlfriend and the boss's hitwoman) band together, albeit reluctantly. It's also nice to see the girlfriend, despite the cliche name, with some brain. (Do these last 2 points have anything to do with the movie's female director? I'll bet!) Without Tucci, however, I wouldn't recommend the movie so wholeheartedly.

Armando-4 Montana is not a hit, but is a good example of how to make an excellent movie. The plot is 'tantalizer', the actors/tress are level one pro, and the director (Jennifer) is brilliant. I kept glued to the screen all the time, and my dinner went cold...I'd like to see more of Jennifer's work, but it seems this is the only film she did. At least I didn't find more titles at the IMDb. I'll appreciate any hint.
