Description:
In the tradition of such hard-boiled crime films as Get Shorty and Pulp Fiction, FROGS FOR SNAKES is a sexy neo-noir thriller centering on a group of New York theatre actors who moonlight as illegal money collectors. Unlucky in love, Eva (Barbara Hershey) has the most acting ability, but she dreams of abandoning the twisted underworld and living a quieter life on the beaches of Long Island. Her mob-boss-ex-husband Al (Robbie Coltrane) is a theatre impresario who promises acting roles in his upcoming production of David Marmet's classic play American Buffalo to those actors willing to kill for the part. Al wants Eva to pull off one more hit, promising her enough money from the job to start a new life. After she rejects his offer, she learns that her lover Zip (John Leguizamo) was shot dead leaving her apartment the night before. Now it's time to settle the score in this steamy, ultra-hip thriller.

Amos Poe takes the framework of neo-noir and wraps around it a wacky satire of actors so desperate for parts they'll kill for 'em. To top it off, the "impresario" who puts on the plays is a big guy, played by Robbie Coltrane--an English actor with an impeccable tough Noo Yawk accent--who's also a mob boss. What Poe's really done here is to give us the New York City that really exists--the one full of attitude, show business, desperation, "me first", and day-to-day toughing it out.

My initial review submitted here a few weeks a go has mysteriously disappeared. This time I will make certain not to mention that one leading lady was much to old to be playing her assigned "kooky" role of an ingenue just beginning her career. The plot was contrived with such a forced sense of "aren't we cute?" that I was actually angered! Murders of aspiring actors and perpetrated by their competitors for the roles. Just not funny. The cinematography and art direction are great, as is the performance ... Read More
