Ex-jailbirds Eddie and Paul are on parole and working in a New York diner, and their lives seem to be at a dead end. Then, English lawyer Katherine Rookwood walks into the diner with an offer they can't refuse.

Critics Consensus

This contrived heist film strikes gold with Sam Rockwell, but there isn't much else going for Blue Iguana.

2/5

It is a story seemingly meant to be funny but only fitfully successful in this mission, and way too pleased with its own brand of deadpan wisecracking.

1/5

Blue Iguana grates on pretty much every level, a misjudged hodge-podge of ill-defined characters, tired filmmaking licks and an air of general unpleasantness. It also contains one of the worst shootouts in recent memory.

2.5/4

Rockwell and Fox are very funny and very strange together. You get weirdly invested in them.

2/5

Oliver Daly’s film is a love letter to 80s action characters, but it’s just not a very good one.

Although the setup to this British crime comedy is a bit of a stretch, the execution is often quite funny, and let's face it: anytime you get a chance to see a new film starring Sam Rockwell, you jump on it.

Rockwell is adrift in this messy crime caper.

Has a B grade style about it, but the US/ UK culture blend is done well, and creates a lot of laughs. Silly at times, but mostly enjoyably funny.

If you want to read the review I wrote for this, go to letterboxd.com/HankIsDead514. I can no longer post long reviews on here and I'm not writing two separate reviews for the same movie.

I really wanted to like this movie. I like Sam Rockwell & Amanda Donahoe a lot. Sadly neither of them can save this mess of a ï¿ 1/2comedyï¿ 1/2Â?; yes, comedy is in quotation marks because this film is not just NOT AT ALL FUNNY but itï¿ 1/2(TM)s horribly offensive. Spoiler: a character snaps his motherï¿ 1/2(TM)s neck & kills her & itï¿ 1/2(TM)s supposed to be amusing! What? Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s as though the writer wrote the concept of the script in a foreign language and then ran it through a bad online translator; you kind of understand what they are trying to do/say but itï¿ 1/2(TM)s just somehow garbled in a way that isnï¿ 1/2(TM)t quite coherent & not in an amusing way. Stay away from Blue Iguana like itï¿ 1/2(TM)s carrying salmonella.

Not great: Rockwell glides by, Schwartz fizzes out, Fox is uncharismatic.
