QUICK CHANGE (1990) **1/2 The opening twenty minutes in which the ever smart-ass Bill Murray robs a bank in a clown suit and demands two helicopters and a monster truck is absolutely brilliant. Linear plot with only tangential deviations allows for maximum relaxation. Bill plays his part wonderfully, cool under pressure but exhausted by contemporary culture in general and New York City in particular (he was a City Planner, you see). The social commentary is negative and biting, but minimal. Nothing to offend anyone, except for aesthetic reactionaries who refuse to view the criminal as a worthy protagonist.
