Nino Scotellaro (Luigi Lo Cascio), a Sicilian prosecutor who has dedicated his entire life to waging war against the mafia, is suddenly accused of being one of the same men he has always fought: a mobster.
The Angels. a dinner party Mr. Wolf (voice of Sam Rockwell) and Mr. Snake (Marc Maron) chat about the delight of guinea pigs and other such frivolities. They get up to pay the bill and everyone huddles in the corners, and that's when we realize that this particular narrative world mixes anthropomorphic bipedal versions of quadrupedal animals with humans, which is interesting, just interesting. Traffic comes to a standstill when Wolf and Snake cross the street, break into a bank and rob it. This has been a long shot, the kind of virtuoso stunt usually reserved for live-action movies that inspire movie pundits to use the phrase "virtuous gimmick" so much you just want to shove your weather-worn sweatpants in your mouth. Giannis Antetokounmpo's game.
Stars: Luigi Lo Cascio, Claudia Pandolfi, Selene Caramazza
Our lead duo hops into Wolf's convertible sports car and down a stretch of Los Angeles' Michael Mannish, the cops, led by the easily flustered Chief Misty Luggins (Alex Borstein), follow them. They round up the other members of their criminal quintet: berzerker madman Mr. Piranha (In the Heights' Anthony Ramos), hacker extraordinaire Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina) and master of disguise Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson). They are the Bad Guys, notorious and feared everywhere and by everyone. They live in a secret lair by the reservoir, and it's stuffed full of cash, gold, and even the Mona Lisa. Wolf leads them and Snake is the most curmudgeon of the group. They're cramped: Of everyone in the world, "I hate you the least," Snake complains.
The new governor, red vixen Diane Foxington (Zazie Beetz), drags bad boys onto TV, which inspires Wolf to Clooney: He voiceovers a heist scheme to embarrass her: Something about snatching a statue of gold destined for a gazillionaire guinea pig named Professor. Rupert Jam IV (Richard Ayoade). Before we can discuss whether or not the statue is a MacGuffin, two important developments occur: first, Wolf accidentally saves an old lady from falling down the stairs, and actually it's almost possible that he feels good about doing something nice, and his tail wags involuntarily. . Uh oh. And then the Bad Boys get caught and Marmalade picks them up so she can rehabilitate them into the Good Guys, which Wolf sees as an opportunity to pretend to be good but actually be bad, though that tail wagging tells us that this conceit is wrong. a slippery slope In fact, there are many more twists from here on out, this entire movie is a slippery slope.
There are three things that keep The Bad Guys from being a fest of intermittent references tied to a familiar offhand moral fable (Vin Diesel quote: "Fambly"): one, the amiable dynamic between Rockwell's conflicted Wolf and Rockwell's hot-tempered Serpent. Maron. Two, some cleverly conceived and fun action sequences. And three, a chaotic Looney Tuned sensibility that finds comedy in hype and wholesale silliness. There's just the right amount of No. 1, a lot of No. 2, and not enough of No. 3.
Much of the film consists of farting in some direction, as this plot hits us with a wink, and the younger you are, the more you'll appreciate its attempts at being "unpredictable." To any adults in the audience, well, those Clooney double entendres and clean tarantinisms are for you, and the rest is tolerable, occasionally worth a laugh (I liked the recurring bit where Wolf is embarrassed to be in love with a kitten ). So all in all, this is a mid-run family entertainment that's content to amuse without exerting too much creative ambition. It's not always memorable, but it works for the most part.
