everything you have heard about this movie is true.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I don't know how this movie ended up below 6 rating at IMDB but it's for sure it deserves at least above 6.8 rating once you're done with watching it.Movie on hostages are generally quite violence oriented, but this is slightly different story about love and relationship. All the characters in the movie did perform their job well. No dull acting at all. Tim Robbins did a pretty decent job on being the bad guy.Robin Williams had a major role in it of convincing and as usual he didn't disappoint us.I love the way the movies used to portrayed in the good old days. Oh God I love the 90s. Robin Williams, we will miss you and your incredible acting skills.

Cadillac Man is a Robin Williams movie, I can still come back to watching, like See No Evil Hear No Evil. Though not always funny, with Williams carrying it, you're guaranteed a good time. In another splendid performance, Williams plays a womanizing car salesman, who at the start, tries to sell an old woman a car who's present one has broken down. Emphasis on broken down here, as she was on way with her padres to a funeral, so her mood, like the others, isn't one that brightens. Williams is sort of a sleazebag on the side, never missing an opportunity. I really found this movie hugely entertaining, where the second half, intensifies, as Robin's infidelity finally catches up with him, as Robbins in a great performance, as a nutso, comes crashing through his place of work on his motorcycle. Here we really lose the laughs as things quickly become dramatic. Williams has supposedly been doing Robbin's girlfriend (Sciorra) so a hostage situation develops. Williams has some great lines, and again we see a bit of his own dialogue input. I loved the woman at the Chinese restaurant, where Williams and his co workers frequent, and where the police negotiator and his men set up base, oh "On the condition they eat". Although people have found this disappointing, I really love this film, William's character too, Joey, having ties in with the mafia. The casting is great. Every actor delivers, but truthfully, Robbins is the acting force here, out performing Williams. Robbins is so riveting to watch, you don't know what he'll do next. Cadillac Man is definitely worth a view, even if it runs low in the laugh expectation ratio, but Robbins and Williams are great to watch.

I was having a rubbish day... then I stuck this on, and come the ending I had perked up just a bit. For a Robin Williams film, I don't recall laughing a lot, and there were a few moments where I just wished people would stop talking and move on with the plot... But I loved the way the large cast interacted with each other the rest of the time, and while Mr Williams wasn't at his best, I certainly enjoyed his little asides and general performance.Then the final scenes started, and as one by one the myriad of problems Williams's character faced at the beginning of the movie evaporated, and I embarrassed myself by grinning like a gonad. Who'd have thought that being involved in a hostage situation would be the best thing that ever happened to the guy? It allowed him to prove his worth to those he'd wronged in his life, as well as take stock of himself to be a better person. Aaarrr! Usually I would have rolled my eyes at such a notion, but I guess I needed SOME kind of reassurance right now that the world isn't a totally crappy place. Even if my catharsis did come from an entirely fictitious sequence of events, that could never happen in real life...Whatever, that's all the opening up I'll be doing today. And don't think I'm going to start wearing garlands of flowers or playing the tambourine. But despite a few shortcomings, I did like Cadillac Man, and if I recommend accordingly. Damn my fluctuating moods... 6/10

This is playing on TV right now and it is so annoying.It started out a bit interesting about a car salesman, but rest of the film seemed like it turned into a whole new genre; it's a mess -- all it ends up being is an annoying stress viewing experience about a hostage with everyone screaming CONSTANTLY that it will make your ears bleed.It will make you want to tell all the cast to just shut up. Thankfully, I did not have to pay for this.The mute button on the remote was invented for films like this.The film is a giant mess. If you want to stress yourself out on a film with everyone screaming and yelling, knock yourself out on this one.
