"This story is about Ryan," says the narrative Chris Landreth. "I live in Toronto, a city in Canada where I see way too many shades of gray for my own good health.
From the director of The Italian Job and A Man Apart, F. Gary Gray is bringing back John Travolta and pouncing on audiences with the sequel to Get Shorty. The follow-up film, Be Cool, is once again riding the surface of stereotypes which was the shtick that made its partner in crime Get Shorty a success.
