The great hunt of nighttime generation

Movie producer Max Barber (Robert DeNiro) is shooting a movie with an old western star Duke Montana (Tommy Lee Jones), but his true intention is an accident in a scene, so he can collect the insurance money. Duke Montana is a son of a bitch to kill though. Comeback Trail by George Gallo is pretty cool. Only when the slapstick gear kicks in it can be infantile and downright stupid, but otherwise it's an entertaining and pleasant comedy. A well deserved addition to the list of movies about movie making (Get Shorty, The Player, State & Main, Shadow of the Vampire, Boogie Nights and Living in Oblivion).
