dutch movie

I’m a big Elmore Leonard fan, but the movie adaptations of his work are usually pretty poor. This has changed some recently, with Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (Rum Punch) and Barry Sonnenfeld’s Get Shorty. The sequel to which, Be Cool, is due out shortly. I’m looking forward to it for a number of reasons, but the primary one is The Rock shows a really sense of humor by starring in the role that was obviously mocking him in the novel — Eliot Wilhelm is a gay, samoan bodyguard who basically has only one charismatic trick: raising one eyebrow and looking skeptical.

My only real worry is that I’ve never seen anything else by the director.
