This has to be one of the funniest multi-national action comedy drama crime capers set in Ibiza that I've ever seen. It's got everything in it. Some superb photography, hilarious set pieces (the statue gag is a classic), slightly questionable art direction (why all the chiffon?) but above all a wonderful effort.
Gary Busey steals every scene he's in, apart from the ones featuring the fabulous Mike Burnside (I loved that teeth gag). Only someone as seasoned as Martin Cove could have bettered Busey in this I think.
If anything, what the film really needed were more whip-pans and musical montages, then I would have given it a straight ten out of ten.
However, the witty dialogue is just pucker, the action scenes thrilling (how did they do that with the melons? CGI?) and the splendid music by Hard-Fi's Richard Archer gives the film a real kick.
All in all, this film is Wicked The Movie! Oh, and did anyone else notice the sublime cameo from Yeti front man Harmony Williams as the thieving hippy?
