Chili Palmer ist nicht nur ein recht „erfolgreicher“ Schuldeneintreiber, sondern auch ein Kinofan, und das von ganzem Herzen. Da trifft es sich doch gut, dass sein neuester Auftrag ihn nach Hollywood, das Herz der amerikanischen Filmproduktion, verschlägt. Schon bald erkennt Chili eine Sache ganz deutlich: Zwischen seinem Job und dem eines Filmproduzenten gibt es gar nicht so viele Unterschiede.

It is amazing how fast you can get cinephiles to love a loan shark who routinely threatens and beats people just by making him a fellow cinephile. Look at how excited Chili is to meet a stunt man! He knows the dialogue from Touch of Evil by heart! I can’t root against a guy like that.
63This film perfectly embodies its protagonist: John Travolta's Chili Palmer. A mobster who yearns to get into the movie business, it's so charming to watch a hardened guy follow his dreams, while collecting debts at the same time. The scene where he watches Touch of Evil, knowing every word of its cynical climax, distills so much of the character down to his essence. Overall, this is a fun mix of the post-modern wave ala Tarantino and the Hollywood satire, all while still preserving the Elmore Leonard feel. Maybe not as well as Jackie Brown or Out of Sight, but it's competent and breezy enough. A great cable movie.
