Who would have thought that Christopher Walken and Cyndi Lauper in a movie? WOW! I actually got to see Cyndi Lauper on stage in Santa Barbara. She is truly an incredible performer. Seems actually an excellent actress also! Yes, I rushed the stage, reached up and she held my hand while she sung for quite some time. Love her!

[@jimbecarroll5780]

Was she touring w/Cher at that time ? I saw her on the D2K tour w/her and also, I think on the Living Proof one.

Who’s watching in 2024 I swear to God Cyndi Lauper took me by surprise I never connected the two because of her music videos and how she looked and how she looks here is amazing how versatile I never would’ve put the two together still watching the movie

Actors like Christopher Walken give convincing performances. Always feel good to watch their movies. Brian Dennehy is another example.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Dennehy is the same in every single movie he was in. Walken is mostly walken through. Good, but he can be better. His best movie was Pennies From Heaven. But he is misused. He should be doing Brecht. He should be Mac the Knife.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quaint, understated, little film. A heist film that isn't loud, obnoxious, full of explosions, car chases and foul language. Plus Tom Noonan is a treasure and Cindy Lauper is one gorgeous dame. Definitely worth a look.

[@lushkitty734]

Vera Farmiga!!! I absolutely fell in love with her and her blue eyes when she portrayed a Russian prostitute in 2001's "15 Mintues" starring De Niro, Ed Burns, and the late Kelsey Grammer, Karel Roden, and Oleg Taktarov. She is also an elder sister to Taissa Farmiga whom portrayed the daughter in the first serial anthology of American Horror Story entitled "Murder House".

Christopher Walken is a versatile actor, I was only 14 years old when I watched his movie "The Deer Hunter" , which was once shown way back 1978.

[@mikevictor5945]

That was raw a good show

[@Medietos]

How did you come out from that film? I was 15 and devastated, felt so bad, was too young and lost.

Every time I watch a movie with Christopher Walken in a lead role or a major role, my suspension of disbelief remains completely intact.

[@earthman4020]

Very good point!

[@communityorganizer5645]

Not so much me. I find myself saying, MORE COWBELL. I also can't stand that he teamed up with Natalie Wood's husband to murder her.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

@@tagthorpe5920 Yes it is. It is evilness of the evil kind. Firstly he has got to plan having a victim. That that choosen victim should be robbed. It's double evil seeing him throw stolen money about as if he could never get jail time for ever cent he does not return before the judge slams the hammer down. Did he also contaminate his wife with a Juke Box bought with stolen loot.

[@Freshbrood]

@@cotswoldcuckoo775 No, theft is not always "evil", especially when it's a victimless crime and done out of desperation. Capitalism is "evil" because it's sole purpose is to exploit others.
