Buy & Cell

About This Movie

So, 'Buy & Cell' is this quirky little comedy from '89 that digs into the world of white-collar crime with a pretty unique twist. Herbie Altman, played with a certain charm, gets set up by his boss and finds himself in the slammer. But instead of just dealing with prison life, he becomes a financial guru among the inmates. It's wild how he creates CON INC., managing a whole investment scheme right under the guards' noses. The pacing is interesting - a mix of light-hearted moments and some surprisingly sharp commentary on greed and ambition. The performances have this offbeat energy, and it’s fun to see how they navigate the absurdity of their situation. Definitely a distinctive gem in the comedy landscape of the time.
