I-Hate-New-York heist comedy: a smooth bank job followed by a bumpy escape route, which summarizes the reasons for wanting to leave the city at the same time as it throws up obstacles preventing it -- the raucous construction workers, the non-English-speaking cabbie, the punctilious bus driver (a movie-stealing portrayal by Philip Bosco). It makes a convincing list of grievances. The trio of bank robbers, however, are a bit vague as characters, more so than necessary in the case of Bill Murray, who refuses to play a character at all, refuses to play anyone but himself, and so exudes confidence and Fat-Cattism where desperation and Little-Mannishness are called for. Since he's the co-director (along with scriptwriter Howard Franklin), there's no one to make him behave. Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, Jason Robards. (1990) — Duncan Shepherd
