Be Cool

I've been a fan of Elmore Leonard since he did westerns (Valdez is Coming and Hombre, to name just two of them, but he wrote a dozen or so westerns)......but his modern novels are just as good. And I have yet to see one of his books converted to a move that wasn't incredible.

I just caught Be Cool on VH1. What a good movie. Good plot, subplots and mechanizations. With John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Danny DeVito, The Rock, Cedric the Entertainer, Christina Milian, Steven Tyler, and Harvey Keitel to name a few of the actors. Absolutely great acting.

Certainly the equal, almost, of Paul Newman in Hombre or Burt Lancaster in Valdez is Coming.

I'll have to try and see it as I really like Hombre with P. Newman

If you liked Hombre, read the book "Valdez is Coming" then rent the movie on netflix. The book is nothing short of awesome.....the movie is really good.
