By assuring Elliott that he can help his acting career, Chili befriends him.
Soon Chili is facing all the action he can handle between the Russian gunmen, a music mogul named Nick Carr Harvey Keitel who wants Chili to stay out of the business, and Sin LaSalle Cedric the Entertainer , a successful hip-hop producer who wants Chili to pay him the 300,000 dollars he is owed by Tommy. This was silly with a lot of fun all star characters , all enjoyable except for James Woods. Nothing serious or dramatic, complete brainless fun. Chili is looking for new horizons and thinks he may have found his niche when his close friend Tommy Athens James Woods , a fellow mobster who runs an independent record label, is murdered by Russian gangsters.

Based on Linda's success in that concert, Chili tempers LaSalle by making him her producer. When the Russians attempt to kill Chili, Joe Loop mistakenly kills Ivan Argianiyev, the Russian Mob's hitman. It was good to see him. .
The film adaptation of Be Cool began production in 2003. Edie and Chili leave the award ceremony. Travolta is 10 yrs older and 10 yrs fatter. Having made the transition from gangster to movie producer, Chili Palmer John Travolta is ready for the next big move. But watch with a grain of salt. Russia Будь круче Serbia Budi opušten Turkey Turkish title Sakin ol Venezuela Tómalo con calma.
Chili isn't much concerned about Linda's contract with Raji, but Raji certainly is, and the manager soon takes out a contract on Chili with the same Russian hoods who killed Tommy. Be Cool also features appearances by The Rock as a gay Samoan bodyguard, Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 from the hip-hop duo Outkast as a rapper who isn't very good with a gun, and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler as himself. Even Travolta's toupee was cut rate. I really just love them! Carr then tries to trick Chili by handing him a , claiming that Linda's contract is being held at a pawn shop owned by the Russians. Chili being much smarter than Car anticipated, has Edie give the ticket to the police, who pay the Russians a visit.

Edie is an experienced hand in record production, and together she and Chili spot what would seem to be the ideal act for their label -- Linda Moon Christina Milian , a beautiful young woman with a powerhouse voice. I walked in thinking I was going to make one movie and then it changed. Pretty much everything in it is a knocked-down knock-off of the vastly superior Get Shorty, and it rarely displays a hint of that movie's wit or charm.
But Carr is not accepting any deal, so he makes Raji put Elliott to kill Chili. Get Shorty was funny in a clever way with tongue-and-cheek writing and some good performances.

Not terrible if one wants to spend half the movie watching incredibly poorly dubbed stage performances music videos by somewhat talented overdub singers. If you need to have some fun, this movie should do it alright. After learning that Chili had gotten him an audition for a film, Elliott turns on Raji, who had erased the message on his answering machine.
If I had to choose Be Cool and Get Shorty with the exception of James Gandolfini. Carr is furious about the mistake and demands that Raji talks to Loop at once. Be Cool on the other hand was a sad, shambling wreck of a movie with cringe worthy tropes and writing so bad it was probably written while channeling Ed Wood Jr. Everyone had something to bring to the table, The rock, cedric the entertainer and Vince Vaughn and Andre 3000. I would choose definitely Be Cool! The Rock too, always great to see him.
