The Master (Brad Light) is the most powerful Hollywood player, and he's
envied especially by the Senator (Eric Roberts) - who promises to send him
a silver case. Now the Master has no idea what's in there, but he knows he
wants it ... The original courier however is an unreliable drunkard,
thus the case is eventually stolen from his car. Soon it passes through
many hands before eventually landing with Barabba (Brian Keith Gamble) and
Caesar (Chris Facey), two of the Master's thugs, who have no idea their
boss waits for the case though. The two of them figure the case is
valuable ... but it's locked, and they dare not breaking it open to not
ruin the content (whatever it is), so they try to sell it unopened to
various clients, with varying success, until they show up with it at the
Master's ... and considering they got their hands on the case illegally,
this is just a recipe for disaster ... Silver Case, I
have to admit, is not a perfect film: It's not all that well-structured
and lacks any real highlights, some of its subplots don't make sense in
the context of the main narrative, the film could have done without a few
of the supporting characters, and sometimes the thing tries too hard to
feel like a Quentin Tarantino-movie. But that all matters rather little,
because the film is simply chock-full with funny dialogue and amusing
situations, and most of the characters are very well-drawn and
well-played. Now true, this film does leave room for improvement - but
at the same time it's still vastly entertainment while watching.
