A Gay Hitman

James Gandolfini, the New Jersey Mafia in HBO's "The Sopranos", plays a gay hitman in this film.

The 85% rating on Rotten Tomato is enough to prove the excellence of this film.

"Until now. Get Shorty serves up Leonard in grand style. There are a few broad strokes, and the stew could have used a dash more menace and sexual simmer. "
A commentary on the film from "Rolling Stone": http: //www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/5948887/review/5948888/get_shorty
"You leave Get Shorty with a sensation akin to Chili's when he leaves Orson Welles' Touch of Evil at a revival house. "Wow, huh?" says Chili to the strangers in the theater as the lights go up. It's the kick that comes when a movie gets it right despite the odds. Get Shorty gets it wonderfully right. Wow, huh?"

    It’s just a movie. The rhythmic music and laughter are great. Taco’s acting is too awkward.

Get Shorty quotes

  • Chili Palmer: That's Martin Weir! He's the one who played the mob guy-turned snitch in "Cyclone!"

    Harry Zimm: One of his best parts.

    Chili Palmer: No, his best part was when he played the crippled gay guy who climbed Mt. Whitney.

    Harry Zimm: "Ride the Clouds." Good picture.
