I don't know if it's Elmore Leonard who's excellent writing makes this film great or how right John Travolta is for the role. But I just watched this [feb. 2011] and it still is as fresh and fast paced today as it was in 1995 when it came out. It just clicks all the movie goers boxes of all time great films. Pure gangster movie, smart dialog and that true Miami / L. A. style. We follow Chili Palmer as he owns what ever town he's in and owns his audience. The characters he bangs up against are what makes Hollywood Hollywood. The ending, which is fine, is a little out of pace with the excitement of the rest of the film. But this is a film I could watch again. A truly great film in that old Hollywood style. Watch it. **If you found this information at all helpful, please take a moment to select the "yes" button below.

I'm no good at this sort of thing so I'll just say most likely you've already see it and that is why you want to own it. If you haven't seen it and you like a movie with a good story line that will entertain you and give you some laughs this would be a good purchase for you

What a fun movie. I saw this when it came out and was waiting for the DVD. It has an all star cast. Rene Russo is sexy as ever.Danny DeVito and Gene Hackman play off of John Travolta's (Chilly Parmer) beautifully. I'm surprised the self involved and souless hollywood culture would make a film that reflects their shallowness. It is fun to watch a New Jersey Italian boy con these people so easilly and have them eating out of his hand. This movie pretty much sums up Hollywood. Love it!
This movie will surprise you big time. You start out thinking this movie is one thing and it quickly changes to another. Chili Palmer brings gangland style neotiations into the hollywood scene, and an unusual performance by Gene Hackman as a bumbling idiot that has little ability to handle anything himself. A surprise hit in my book and one of my favorites.
This is the ultimat movie about making a movie. Travolta's character is a collections expert (read load shark's muscle) that goes to Hollywood and decides that he wants to write a movie. He was sent their looking for a man that tried to skip out on a loan shark. A man named Shorty misses his flight but has just bought life insurance that pays off when the flight crashes on lay-off. This is a screw ball comedy about a group of people trying to get the money. It illustrates that craziness that goes into selling a movie to the Hollywood executives. It is sick and twisted in places but always fun.
