Review of Montana

Montana (1998)
8/10
Unknown gem! Only 24 reviews, mine included, while this is one of the very best gangster comedies of the entire nineties!

So hard to get hold of the dvd of this movie. In some inexplicable way this movie has been unknown to many. Only 24 reviews on Imdb, mine included, while this movie is equal to the best of Tarantino's work. Honest. "Montana" is an unknown gem, with MAGNIFICENT ACTING PERFORMANCES and BRILLIANT DIALOGUE and a THRILLING, HILARIOUS STORY, which is out of control!

The good: Quirky, fascinating, hilarious at moments, with a SUPERB, out of control, original story. One of a kind. The greatest unknown gangster comedy gem of the entire nineties! I am not kiddin'.

Any bad? The only reason I can think of, which might put off some viewers, is the fact that this story is slowburning and the jokes are not laugh out loud funny, because the acting is done seriously (by a stellar cast). This typically, slow tempo of this movie, is probably more suited for an arthouse audience, but arthouse audiences dont often go watch full blown gangster comedies. I think that's the reason that this nineties gangster's gem remained unknown. I would highly recommend it though!
