"Lies & Alibis" was in the budget bin @ the video store; so I gave it a spin. It's an interesting comedy that moves briskly as the plot gets increasingly complex. Ray has established an agency to give cheating spouses an alibi for their affairs. Steve Coogan plays the agency owner with tightly controlled performance that is subtle and has a splash of humor. Coogan is currently in "Hamlet 2" and played in Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition). Lola starts working at the agency and quickly ... Read More
Rating:  - Poor showing
I like Steve Coogan, and Rebecca Romijn is easy on the eyes (even if she's made to look 7 feet tall in this movie), but this flick- as promising as it sounded- was just not up to snuff. It was kind of as if they were trying to mix a Guy Ritchie movie with the Sting, but it just didn't work. And even though Steve Coogan is a hilarious comedian, this wasn't funny in the least. Why cast one of the world's best comedians in a dull, half-hearted gangland adventure? Without any laughs, the convoluted plot ... Read More
Rating:  - Better than some.
I picked this up because I wanted something new and I like Steve Coogan. It may not be the best movie I've ever seen, but it's deffinately better than some of the stuff out there. It's clever, funny, and if not entirely original at least it's entertaining and fast paced. I'll admit I'm still not quite sure what Rebecca Romijn's character is there for other than to dress in white and be sexy. If you're looking for a decent Friday night movie this is a pretty good bet.
Rating: - not as good as you guys praised
not quite a likable british guy doing an unlikely shady alibi business in l.a., hiring another p.r. lady to cover his back is a nice touch, pretty but too tall for this guy. to hire such a pretty young lady who clueless but conveniently falls for you without obvious reasons is not but a pipe dream. to watch this cliched (mob, latino gang bangers, hitmen, hotel floors and room numbers mess ups and so on) action comedy and accept it as ridiculous as it goes, you've got to turn your brain dead first.
Rating:  - FAST PACED -- WELL ACTED GEM
HAD TO FILL MY QUEUE WITH NETFLIX & THREW THIS ONE IN WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT--NOT A MISTAKE. NOW IT IS PART OF MY MOVIE COLLECTION. I BOUGHT IT THE NEXT DAY. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A MOVIE THAT WILL KEEP YOUR ATTENTION TO THE END--THEN THIS IS IT. ENJOY.
