Penn & Teller Get Killed (Original Theatrical Trailer)

The "bad boys of magic" go over the edge in this mind-blowing, role-switching comedy murder mystery set in the dizzying world of Altlantic City casinos. In a TV interview, Penn mentions his idea of a fun practical joke: "I wish someone were trying to kill me. It would give focus to my life, excitement. I'd be like James Bond." Twenty-million people hear him. One decides to deliver a punchline he'll never forget. Made by people who thought Psycho was a comedy, Penn & Teller Get Killed (they also wrote the piece) features Caitlin Clarke as the femme fatale and David Patrick Kelly as the Edgar Allan Poe-esque nutcase with a new mission. Arthur Penn, known for hip masterpieces like Bonnie and Clyde, Alice's Restaurant and Little Big Man, directs with roller-coaster pacing and subversive intelligence.

I watched and thought the movie was a lot of fun, but thought the end ran a bit too long. Not sure exactly what I would have done to tighten it up, since I'm not a film editor.  One of my favorite scenes: the guys fucking with each other at the airport - Teller sticking metal in Penn's pockets then removing it when he's trying to go through the metal detector, then Penn cuffing a toy gun to Teller and telling a cop Teller has a gun. (Poor guy'd get his head busted nowadays. TSA has no humor.)
