Jonathan Demme
1991

My prof (in theories of genre) described this as a "really really good ordinary movie."
Which it totally is.
I love how they play on the blood-dripping-from-the-ceiling giveaway that was so slick in Rio Bravo. (When Dean Martin schools all the bad guys in the bar who think he doesn't have what it takes because he's a recovering alcoholic, duh. What? My references are so current.)
