Jimmy the Saint's business is videotaping the terminally-ill, so that they will be around to give 'Afterlife Advice' to their survivors. He hasn't been doing too well lately and has had to turn to loan-sharks to accomodate his failing business, as well as his expensive personal tastes. When an evil gangster-overlord buys up his note and demands a favor of Jimmy, in exchange for the interest that he can't afford, Jimmy capitulates. Jimmy is to scare someone for the gangster-overlord--really rough them up. Without giving too much away (spoiler), the scene goes down badly and Jimmy and his crew all end up with contracts on their heads for their trouble.
Leave your thoughts about Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIt's a perversely comic movie ride into the wild blue of crime and punishment. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranMoviegoers who can make it past "Denver's" excessive violence--no small thing--and get on this film's off-center wavelength will find a grave noir comedy heavy with romantic regret, a cocky piece of work that flaunts its style and attitude and dares you not to be impressed. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyTartly written and vividly performed by a fine ensemble cast, Gary Fleder's bracingly entertaining first feature covers familiar ground in a fresh, breezy way. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkOn balance, I think it's an interesting miss, but a movie you might enjoy if (a) you don't expect a masterpiece, and (b) you like the dialogue in Quentin Tarantino movies. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMore of a pretender than a contender in a field that includes superior entries like "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Usual Suspects." |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellMr. Garcia gives one of his sleeker dreamboat performances. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumAlas, most of the surprise and the wit to be found here ends with the title. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe Tarantino Effect at its worst: Yet another movie about a relentlessly violent gang, reportedly based on a bet the director made with Tarantino! |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA terrifically off-beat underworld thriller. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe movie features a very cool soundtrack and more hip lingo than two ears can absorb. But, like the air in Denver, this movie is spread awfully thin. |
