Homicide detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) tracked down serial killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas) and sentenced him to die in the gas chamber. Before the execution Reese grasped Hobbes' hand and sang the Rolling Stones' "Time Is on My Side." In a word, he behaved himself arrogantly as though he was going for an enjoyable outing. But soon afterwards John Hobbes was greatly puzzled by a new series of demonic crimes committed in Reese’s style as if he was alive. Thanks to a chance meeting with theology professor, Gretta Milano (Embeth Davidtz), Hobbes found a clue to the murder mysteries. The slayings appeared to have been arranged by Azazel, a fallen angel, who had the ability to inhabit human bodies, making them to kill.

New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste... |
