Reviews for Quick Change
[Murray's] glancing, genial sarcasm buoys the action for the first half-hour. Then this caper comedy sinks into a puddle of urban rancor.
After piquing our curiosity, Murray and Franklin skillfully let us in on the scheme and slowly reveal the nature of the three characters at the center of it.
Neither ambitious nor particularly memorable, but it's brought off with a sly flair that makes it most enjoyable.
From the opening scenes with Murray dressed as a clown for the robbery and playing his cynical, wise-cracking card to great effect, to the trio pitting themselves against the whims of New York City, this is breathtaking and inventive stuff.
Not likely to set the world alight, but a neat and engaging little comedy of bad manners.
There is not much in Quick Change that hasn't been anticipated by Neil Simon and beaten to death by countless imitators. Mr. Murray's film is at the worn-out end of this bloodline.
Amusing comedy with a great, subdued performance by Murray. Runs out of steam too soon, though.
