Anytime you try a decent crime, you got fifty ways you're gonna *beep* up


I absolutely love this crazy, black comedy. When I first saw it, I immediately thought of another earlier great neo-noir BODY HEAT.

Teddy Lewis (Mickey Rourke) I got a serious question for you counselor, what the *beep* are you doing? This is not *beep* for you to be messin' with. Are you ready to hear something? I want you to see if this sounds familiar: any time you try a decent crime, you got fifty ways you're gonna *beep* up. If you think of twenty-five of them, then you're a genius... and you ain't no genius. You remember who told me that?

I wouldn't really call this a black comedy because there was hardly any comedy. Body Heat had more comedic elements than this, but that's still more neo-noir than black comedy.

Very good. But brick not hit back!
