Be cool allows John Travolta to show how it's done. We all know him from Grease where we were a bit like... catchy music, he's obviously not 17 but thinks he's totally cool. Personally I loved Travolta in the role but it's good to see him in other things. I've seen him in Ladder 49 with Joaquin Phoenix and I was impressed with both of them. I'm not used to seeing him without a gun but boy was i impressed with him!
Travolta is superb in this film an I can't wait to watch Get Shorty which is the next one up!
Uma Thurman also surprises me because so far the only thing I have seen her in is Kill Bill (which was superb). Seeing her without a samurai sword killing loads of people is a nice change. Her fluid transition from killer to beautiful woman working along side Travolta is pleasing to the eyes. I love it when I get to see actors trying a different thing, style and genre of film.
Vince Vaughn again is different, playing the white man that thinks he isn't white. He is laughable and somewhat impressive in how he manages to pull it off. I enjoy watching him play this character more than watching Chris Tucker in any film!
I take my hat off to all of them for making a really cool film that isn't super gangster-y and challenges all of them.
I am trying to make these reviews more like real reviews and so i haven't included the synopsis but i'm sure that you can find it on IMDB or Wikipedia.
I would recommend this film to anyone. I think that anyone can enjoy watching this film and i'm really glad that it was put on the list by Esther because some of the films on this list have been disappointing and very much not worth watching, but this is a nice change and perfect for a Saturday night.
It's also nice to know that Travolta made a decent film before he made Hairspray. There comes a point when actors reach their prime ( some sooner than others) and you start to think that they wont make a good film again, but Travolta is keeping up with the pressure of making good films.
