The chemistry expected with John Travolta and Uma Thurman never materialize in this "The Uncool Cliche movie". I waited for action and it never happened. This is typical of the junk and lowered expectations of Hollywood movies. I would never recommend... Full review

This is a heavily-promoted movie, and we were all in suspense to see Uma Thurman and John Travolta on the screen again. I had high expectations for this movie, considering it's high-profile cast. However, I was thoroughly disappointed. The plot is... Full review

Not totally what I expected but pretty cool but could have been shorter and it could have made more sense but the cast was good especially Christina Millian. Now THAT'S COOL!... Full review

God, this movie is so bad. . . .I could not stand all the actors in the movie, from Vince Vaughn on down. If you are one of the actors, you owe me $13 for what I spent on the film... Full review

I chuckled non-stop through this witty black comedy that roars with spark, freshness and wicked fun.....Harvey Keitel is a music executive with no scruples....while Vince Vaughn is side-splittingly superb as the lowlife wannaba Raji.....There is nothing like good writing....It's oh so cool, appetisingly black with a script that pops great lines as fast as you can pull a trigger..... ...

She has signed a contract tying her to a dodgy manager who thinks he's a black guy (Vince Vaughn, who's funny for a while, then wears out his welcome) and his mobster partner (Harvey Keitel). Director F. Gary Gray lets everything amble along, like a comedy festival gala at which everyone is allowed to run over time and nobody can be bothered to bring down the curtain. ... Full Review

I recommend Be Cool to anyone who wants to relax, enjoy some popcorn and watch a fun movie that you don't have to follow too closely. Fans of Get Shorty may be a little disappointed in the film's slapstick, but Travolta's performance captures the character's style that he established in the first film. ... Full Review
