Where to Watch Get Shorty
- KillerRooAugust 30, 2026This movie changed my mind about mini-vans. After this movie it didn't seem like such a bad thing to drive one.
- David DanielJuly 13, 2026Excellent script, outstanding performance marred by terrible photography
- Jay Ashley SparksApril 4, 2026A very classy adaptation from the Elmoe Leonard novel of the same name, John Travolta excels in portayal of Chilli Palmer. Some other notable performaces from Dennis Farina, Gene Hackman, Delroy Lindo and Danny Devito. Make this movie in to an exciting watch. One of Travolta's best performances following the high of plying Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction.
- Peter BickfordMarch 12, 2026The Elmore Leonard story consistently entertains in this smooth romp of a movie. Everyone--from Travolta's effortlessly charming Chili Palmer to Dennis Farina's blustering mob boss "Ray Bones" is having a great time, carrying off the whole affair with style--but with not quite as much wit as the follow-up, "Be Cool"
- Charles LondonFebruary 28, 2025Great cast, clever script, fun movie. Get watching.
