Elmore Leonard deserves a lot of accolades for the impact he’s had on modern culture. It’s impressive given the fact that he started writing Westerns back in the day. He somehow morphed into writing crime fiction and evolved to have one of the most ears for dialogue. His books are filled with intriguing heroes and quirky and mean villains and the voices he is able to provide each is inspiring. He has produced the stories for many successful movies and TV shows and it adds up as an impressive body of work. Be Cool is a sequel to the fantastic Get Shorty. Get Shorty tells the hilarious journey of a mid-level wise-guy, Chili Palmer, attempting to work his way into the movie business and the cutting contrast from the straight talking hood compared to the duplicitous Hollywood fakes is a romp. Be Cool picks up on the escapades of the hero Chili Palmer as he decides to get into the music business. Be Cools is somewhat derivative of the idea of the first story but Chili Palmer is such an intriguing protagonist that you are willing to allow for the second story to be a little redundant because you get the experience such a dynamic character a second time. The books is a very good one, benefiting from Leonard’s tight writing style and his excellent ear for dialogue. That being said, the movie is just a hair better than the solid book. The movie benefits form John Travolta’s uber cool style as he eases through Hollywood and the music industry. There is an all-star cast including Uma Thurman, Dwayne Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer, and many others. Vince Vaughn is noteworthy as the slimy music manager who acts and talks like he is black. One of the highlights of the movie is the dance scene between Travolta and Thurman, doing an encore of their classic dance scene in Pulp Fiction.
