Written by The Coen Brothers, directed by Sam Raimi with a fantastic cast (particularly Bruce Campbell) = One of the best films ever made! A real cult classic that doesn't have the recognition it deserves!
Brion James and Paul Smith are hysterical in this very bizarre, live-action cartoon. Bruce Campbell shows why he's the man from day one. Very interesting to see different aspects of this film that have become trademarks for director Sam Raimi and the Coen Bros as writers. The her... read more
Its...all over the place, but has moments of real brilliance. Spiderman 3 and this both share that fatal formula.
The kid in the elevator though is fantastic!
In a word: wacky. Make that wackywackywacky! From start to finish, a manic, at times surrealist adventure chronicling one crazy night when a co-owner of a home-security business hires two psychotic exterminators to off his partner for selling him out. Neighbors, onlookers, and... read more

This movie is like a live action cartoon. Raimi and The Coens team up to bring us what may be the strangest thing any of them have ever done. The camera work is amazing, the sets are great, and some of the gags are priceless. Why this movie is so unappreciated is beyond me. I... read more
This movie is really awesome and I'm surprised it doesn't have a bigger following since it's a collaborative effort between Sam Raimi and the Coen Brothers.
If you had a blender and mixed in some classic noir with some Raising Arizona, and a dash of Evil Dead styled camera wor... read more
Yikes, this wasn't very good. Unfunny comedy is just painful, though Bruce Campbell's bit's are excellent. I do give the film props for it's retro-noir style, and the courage it must have taken to try to film a live-action Looney Toons, but the whole thing just falls pretty flat.
