Murray's best performance, and one of the best films about New York. 12 years 11 months ago -
Siskoid
A clown (Bill Murray) walks into a bank and robs it in Quick Change, but that's just the set-up. For most of the film, he, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid try to get out of New York city with the loot. And if there's one thing that's going in the cops' favor, it's the city. It just doesn't want to make things easy for our sympathetic bank robbers. Jason Robards delivers a fun performance too as the police chief that's after them. The comedy works, with plenty of amusing vignettes along the way (some with recognizable cameos), though I will admit some are a little weird. The romance between Murray and Davis is simply drawn, but likewise, works well as an emotional arc through the film. And then there's the cops'n'robbers stuff, in which neither side is played for fools (not Murray and Robards, at least), that actually lends tension to the piece in spite of the levity. A fun Bill Murray picture that I'm surprised is rarely mentioned when fans discuss his filmography. 6 years 4 months ago
