Mad Dog and Glory [DVD]

Good Movie

I saw this movie years ago and have been trying to get it for a couple years. I had to wait until I was sure the Blu-Ray had English subtitles, which this does. Bill Murray does a great job as a gangster, and David Caruso is fun to watch as DeNiro's cop sidekick. I thoroughly enjoyed the love story between Uma Thurman and Robert DeNiro. Fun to watch!

The story is about how the love of a good woman can change your life. DeNiro plays Wayne "Mad Dog" Dobie, a timid neurotic forensic photographer who lives alone. Murray plays Frank "Money Store" Milo, a mobster and loan shark. When Dobie saves Milo's life, Milo gives him Glory (played by Uma Thurman), a woman in debt to him, as a reward.Murray does a very good job of playing an unstable and neurotic man who can't connect to people - a job usually given to DeNiro.

This was as good as I expected it to be!! The cast is bar none three really fine actors and the plot was so well thought out! That this was almost a "can't miss" film! Let's face it if you like DiNero and like Uma Thurman you are half way home with quality of acting and the icing on the cake is how great Bill Murray was in a semi-dramatic role that you are surprised to see him tackle and happy that he did!! Not a Great film but certainly entertaining and the acting makes a predictable plot worthy!!!!

I think this movie is a forgotten classic. The roles switched by DeNiro and Murray makes the movie what it is.

This is a movie I just have to watch every once in a while. It's a light comedy (with a few dark edges) and the performances by all the leading actors (and actress) are well done. I don't think that the name Robert De Niro is necessarily associated with the adjectives "sweet" and "endearing", but he really is, in this movie.

Interesting story with very good actors. I liked it even though it was unusual at times.

With such great stars -- DeNiro, Thurman, and Murray -- you'd expect a really good movie. But the plot is stupid and the dialog is trite and cliched. What a waste of talent! It's like a parody of mafia movies but actually isn't. Waste of time. Go watch "Groundhog Day" instead.

One of my favourite films, not because it's very good but because something about it touched me, and explaining that is difficult in a review.Certainly not many reviews here for a film that features Uma Thurman, Robert De Nero and Bill Murray. The 'mad dog' of the title is De Nero's nickname for the character he plays ---- a shy, timid detective who his colleagues mock with the nickname. Murray is the tough mobster who becomes indebted to De Nero, and who presents Uma Thurman, a waitress, as a 'gift' to the detective for one week.Reluctantly at first but fully later De Nero bonds with his 'gift' and is more than happy to reveal another side to his character and of course refuses to give her up at the end of the week.The plot is a tragedy really but director John McNaughton plays the film for laughs and all three main actors have a wonderful chemistry on screen as I saw it.A really good supporting role for David Caruso of CSI fame adds to the blend.This is not ever going to get a big audience but it is quietly brilliant to see the two big stars play in roles that were not designed for them----- they were hugely entertaining.

I decided a long overdue re watch was in order. I absolutely adore this film, and won't have a word said against it. Endlessly quotable, brilliant performances from Murray and DeNiro in particular, and just so damn original compared to the cookie cutter material that is turned out so much. It's over twenty years old now too, and still holds up fantastically well.'Hey Chivas & milk, I never forget a neck'

love this movie, una looks so hot, de niro is great as usual & bill murray pulls it off brilliantly in a non comedy role.

Depressing.
