Review of Made

Made (2001)
6/10
Spritely but annoying
19 March 2008
'Made' is a mildly amusing tale of a failed boxer who takes an assignment with a friendly Mafia boss to help himself out of hard times. The problem is, he feels obliged to bring an old acquaintance in on the deal; and this acquaintance is an egoistical idiot. The film is fairly spritely, but hardly brilliant: the idiot is such a complete fool it's almost impossible to believe that anyone could put up with him for more than a couple of hours; the insight into the criminal world is unoriginal; and what the heroes actually are supposed to do for their money is never remotely clear. It's watchable, but there's not really much point to it: a "comedy crime caper" that delivers nothing you would not expect.
