Joe Pesci Movie:

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag [Region 2] Reviews:
Eight Heads out of 8...
2009-09-03 - I'm typically biased when reviewing products like this one. I always love movies from my childhood or from my highschool years no matter how cheesey or lame. This one however has some clever comedy, and alot of one-liners that are pretty hilarious. Joe Pesci takes a different role being a member of a crime organization, and delivering a duffel bag full of heads to a crime boss. Bags get mixed up on the flight to their destination, and all heck breaks loose as the original bag is tracked down by Joe Pesci's character. David Spade plays a very comical role in this film, as well as Kristy Swanson and a few less known actors. The movie keeps you in tune and always wondering if they'll get caught, or even live after crossing paths with this evil mob who own the heads. Alltogether, the movie is very funny, and sure to be a great add to your movie collection.

I love this movie, if you're not sure about buying the movie, I would suggest renting it first or reading a few more reviews.

Not so Dark
2006-05-09 - Joe Pesci is a bag man for a mob family. His current contract is to deliver a bag containing the heads of eight rivals. This should be a simple delivery but circumstances force a bag switch. Now Pesci has a bag of clothes while a pre-med student has the heads. To make matters worse, the student has just driven into Mexico with his girlfriend's family. Only one small clue can help Pesci track down his cargo before a contract is taken out on himself.

What follows are typically improbable comedy situations that have the heads moving around and being seen by unreliable witnesses while more and more people get involved in trying to straighten out the mess. This gives various characters a chance to develop and show their true mettle. Things begin to get really out of hand but it is successfully tied up at the end with the viewer feeling pretty good about how it all worked out.

I expected this to be a darker comedy with plenty of black humor but it really wasn't. Considering the plot device this was a surprisingly happy and upbeat film. Pesci is very good as the bag man but his role is a support role as best (I guess I had also been expecting to see more of him). But although things were not quite as I had thought they would be it was still a very good movie experience. Check it out.

Fitfully funny
2005-07-20 - Although the film begins strongly, the yuks come less often as this movie drags on. The performances are also a bit off-key: Dyan Canon's screechy and hysterical role is wearisome, Kristy Swanson is little more than eye candy, George Hamilton is stiff and unconvincing, David Spade isn't animated enough, and so on. The movie requires an unusually large suspension of disbelief: For instance, these may be the only corpses that don't stink or attract insects. There are enough funny moments to prevent viewing the movie from being a total waste of time but not enough of those moments to make a viewing worthwhile.
