based on the novel by elmore leonard, who writes thriller detective novels, this movie adaptation is witty in its many references to the actors' other movies, other famous (real and fictional) movies and of the movie industry itself. e.g. how big movie stars never order from the menu, and would make up their own, often unappetising, recipes. ewwww. egg white omelettes with no salt?! =_= and the newspapers' headlines of how the new movie "napolean", starring danny devitto, "stands up tall in the movie box office" :D
and of course, "attitude plays a part." : ) so when various characters in the movie say, "look at me", it was chilli palmer with his years of being shylock and mob experiences who can make it work. mmm! :D
