Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead is about an ex-Mafia man named Jimmy the Saint who steps back into the life to take on one last job.  He pulls together four other guys to do the job, a simple snatch, frighten, and return.  Jimmy lets the crazy man of the group convince him that he can handle being part of the initial grab and will not live up to his old reputation of leaving all his victims in critical condition.  The job goes terribly wrong and despite Jimmy's efforts to take all of the blame the five men end up marked for death.  Now Jimmy has to clear up some business and clear his conscience by getting the others out of town and harms way.

This is as quirky a film as the title would indicate.  It is strongly directed with a flair and style of its own.  It's slick and well executed but still lacks a certain excitement.  While it doesn't plod along it could have had a more engaging plot.  The characters are believable and mostly likeable.  Andy Garcia comes across as an excellent actor stepping fully into the role and making it his own, in a good way.  Christopher Walken is as electric and passively as creepy as ever lending a great menace to a character that otherwise might not have been so threatening.

There were some nice exteriors and weather and lighting conditions but the interiors were only average and the setting of the malt shop seemed a little too changeable.  The movie had a good soundtrack that was apparent but not intrusive.  The violence seemed a little flat but was intended that way, the view tainted by the professionalism of the target criminals, and the general blasé quality that has sunk into these men.
