Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

the_crock I have avoided this movie since the day it came out, firstly it had Tim Allen in it, second that poster looked hideous and thirdly it was an ensemble piece. It just looked stupid, I had heard it was good, but the name, the poster and the Tim Allen thing all made me walk past this movie over and over again in the video store. So finally I get it out, and from the two mafia guys talking about deliverance right through till the end I love this movie.This is a movie about movie clichés, but it tells the story in such a way that you could watch even more clichés and still enjoy it. Slater was good, not true romance good, but good, Connolly is great, but the man who steals the shop is Allen who is the funniest hit-man since Grosse Point Blank (Aykroyd or Cusack). And not only is Allen funny, but he holds the movie together in what is by far the toughest role.I cannot believe more people have not seen this movie. This is a cult classic all about films, I think every movie junkie out there should see this movie right now. I don't know why the director isn't getting work after this (other than its failure to make any money), but I urge any future directors to look this man up and give him some cash.If you're reading this review, ignore this movie no further.

mozli I'm referring to Tim Allen's CRITICAL JIM character. He's pretty funny in this movie. He is a murdering sociopathic hitman but he has a soft spot for good stories/happy endings. I didn't care for this movie until 3/5ths the way through it then the dogged work of the detective who figures out SPOILER AHEAD:that Tout isn't who he says he is and the whole business of putting the crime lord's son in jail would be wrecked if the cops followed the letter of the law. I like those kinds of twists where you have to do the wrong thing to get the right resolution. Only in the movies.

NIXFLIX-DOT-COM WHO IS CLETUS TOUT is one of those movies that is surprisingly better than expectations will allow. Christian Slater plays a con who gets mistaken for a man wanted by the mob, and Tim Allen is a hitman who needs a reality check. There's a lot of chuckles to be had, and the film as a whole works.6 out of 10

valis_1986 "Who is Cletis Tout" is certainly a movie worth watching. I disagree with a previous comment that you shouldn't expect much of this film - the storyline is engaging, funny, and very well acted - yes, even Slater. I thought Christian Slater's character was very well acted - and Tim Allen did a great job with a novel role. I thought the self-referential and perhaps even self-deprecating humor was very funny. Go rent this movie - you won't be disappointed.
