Tais-Toi!

Three years old this film is, and for some reason it's only now getting squeezed out onto our screens in the midst of gangsters and horrors and the return of Kevin Costner. Reno plays career criminal Ruby, forced to share a jail cell with the idiotic Quentin (Depardieu). When they manage to escape, they go on the run from the cops as well as the bad guys that are after Ruby, as lots of silly adventures ensue. Intermittently laugh-out-loud funny, but much too uneven and weakly plotted to really work or form a lasting impression, 'Tais-Toi!' is nevertheless a watchable diversion. It's undeniably the draw of the two stars that you'll be out to see and they're clearly having a ball at throwing themselves into out-and-out farce - Depardieu as the clown, Reno as the doleful-eyed (look out for the horse gag) straight man.
