Shooting Fish (1997)
Country: GB
Technical: col 112m
Director: Stefan Schwartz
Cast: Dan Futterman, Stuart Townsend, Kate Beckinsale
Synopsis:
The happy modus vivendi of a smooth American conman and a British techno-geek is threatened when they hire a pretty girl as secretary.
Review:
Transparent example of the periodic attempt to make British films more accessible across the water, this genial caper comedy sputters on paucity of fresh ideas, in spite of some novel use of décor (a suburban fuel tank and a risible sequence in which the trio bounce through a series of non-party-walled terraced loft spaces).
