Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Desertman84 Mad Dog and Glory is a comedy/drama that features Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman and Bill Murray.This film directed by John McNaughton is about Wayne Dobie,a meek Chicago Police photographer that saves the life of an organized crime kingpin.He saved the life of an organized crime mob boss in Frank Milo,who shows his gratitude by allowing a beautiful employee named Glory to work with Wayne for one week.An unusual romance develops between them and things become complicated when the Frank demanded her return.Despite the uneveness of the film in tone and its constant transition from being heavy to being lighthearted ,it was surprising to see De Niro and Murray in surprising turns as a meek fellow and a violent tempered gangster respectively.Their performances was one reason to see this film.Aside from that,it also provides a lot of delight and entertainment to the viewer.

bfko Mad Dog and glory is a very interesting film in regards to the actors who take on the lead roles. De Niro leads as a calm, quiet, forensics photographer who accidentally saves the life of mob Boss Bill Murray. This is interesting as Murray is taking on the role of the Mobster, a role that De Niro has helped define over the last 35 years. Also, this film is a comedy to a certain extent so De Niro is taking on a film that Murray would be suited to and expected to appear in.The plot basically consists of Frank Milo (Bill Murray) wanting to thank Mad Dog (De Niro) for saving his life by 'giving' him Glory (Uma Thurman) to be his maid for a week.There are some great comedic moments in the film but they do mainly belong to Murray who steals the show and walks away with the movie. The cast is peculiar in itself not only for the role reversals of De Niro and Murray but because of the casting of David Caruso as De Niro's cop partner who physically can't handle sharing the screen with such a great.The storyline starts off quite well but does tend to get a little silly at times and there are several sex scenes that were not really necessary and could have just been implied (it was as if the crew needed to fill up time in the movie).Overall, definitely watchable and enjoyable for Bil Murray's role, which one wished it would have been larger as he gets not nearly enough screen time. 6/10.

btm1 Comcast cable lists this movie as a comedy. IMDb lists it as comedy/drama. I found no comic moments in it. Yes, the Bill Murray character attempts some stand-up comedy. But his jokes are flat and his delivery too.It also fails as a drama because we really get no explanation for the behavior of the characters. How did the police crime scene photographer (De Niro) earn the nickname "mad dog"? Is it normal for crime scene photographers to carry weapons and to interact socially with detectives? Why does the mob boss (Bill Murray) attempt to do night club comedy? Why does the mob boss' henchman take his scotch with milk? What's with the mob boss taking advice from a psychotherapist? There are a couple of slug fest scenes between cops and the mob, with kicks to the ribs when someone is down, heads bumped into walls, etc. Yet injuries are only superficial, no broken bones or concussions, just a few cuts.

sirius_6it This is a movie with a nice story, but I've never seen De Niro's wonderful acting totally wasted as in this movie; his performance is good, if he acts to render a shy, dumb, introvert cop/detective that is somewhat involved in a small-mafia situation, but , to be honest, people want to see him cool, outgoing, self-confident..It's not the role for him, definitely.Bill Murray fits a little bit better, but it appears unpleasant, most of the time ...Uma Thurman has the best character, and as a whole, I'd say that the movie is worth a view, but it will seldom make you laugh ...
