a hilarious romp with Kathleen Turner, the handsome Quaig brother and Stanley Tucci - who plays a grade Z hood who is trying to make a big score. His name is "Muerte" and every time he encounters the Blues (Turner/Quaig) mayhem ensues.

It is set in New Orleans; our good guys are named Blue and NO is famous for The Blues

All the ancillary characters are hilarious as well, even the smallest part but Muerte steals the entire movie.

He's really gone downhill. I will re-watch his old films so I guess that counts.

There are lots of actors I like, but there are genres I'm just not interested in. Antonio Banderas for example, I like him in a ton of movies but I would never watch Spy Kids. (He was scorchin' hot in Desperado. 🔥🔥🔥 )
