The Alibi (2006)
Droll humor at its best.

Deftly satirical, Byzantine in plot and wonderfully acted, this film won't be for everyone. Many more twists and characters than Get Shorty, this one actually tries and succeeds in social satire. Themes? Conman trying to go straight is pursued by more temptations and murder threats than Jim Morrison. Threats to Coogan's character, Ray, are shrewdly and humorously evaded. He's assisted, somehow, by a string of mistaken identities, that left me at times amused and perplexed. But then again, I stumbled onto L&A on Indieplex and haven't seen its first third yet. And beginnings are a must. Looking forward to seeing entirety tonight on above channel!
