About This Movie

Shooting Stars (1997) has this offbeat charm, you know? It dives into the underbelly of crime with a comedic twist. The pacing's a bit uneven but that kind of adds to its quirky feel. You've got this mobster, really desperate to track down his mistress – who happens to be quite the slippery character - and the young hustler adds another layer of chaos. The performances are a mixed bag, but they bring a certain rawness that feels real. The film's tone, balancing between dark comedy and crime drama, gives it a distinctive flavor. Plus, there’s a certain grit to the practical effects that just feels right for the genre. It's not your usual fare, and that's what makes it stand out.
