In a penitentiary, the forger Trevor Allen Finch (Christin Slater) organizes the escape of his friend and former magician Micah Donnelly (Richard Dreyfuss). Twenty years ago, Micah stole a fortune in diamonds and has promised one million dollars to Trevor if he is succeed in the plan. In the end, they escape together, they meet Micah's daughter Tess Donnelly (Portia de Rossi) and Trevor achieves with a friend of him new identities for both of them. The new identity of Trevor is Cletis Tout, a reporter executed by Mafia, who witnessed the murder of a hooker by the mobster Rowdy Virago (Joseph Scoren). The Mafia believes Cletis is alive and hires Critical Jim (Tim Allen), a hitman who loves old movies, to kill Cletis. While waiting for his payment, Jim decides to listen to the saga of Trevor, comparing it with the screenplay of a film. This non-linear script is certainly made with the intention of being a cult movie. With many citations of important movies, and funny and nice characters, it is impossible not to like this story, which is a kind of popcorn Pulp Fiction without explicit violence. A good entertainment and a great surprise for me. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): `O Alvo Errado' (`The Wrong Target')

This one at least, is original. Even though it does follow many clichés and movie plots, it does so with individuality. It's real focus is the story, it doesn't build to any dramatic, heart-stopping climax, but its better that way, it gives it an even flow. And makes it comfortable unpredictable.The film is written and directed by Chris Ver Wiel, it seems it is his story, his piece, that he wrote and directed, I am a fan of that sort of novelty.Nice for an entertaining, easy-going, story movie. Watch it some evening when you feel like curling up with a good book. That is my best analogy for it.8 out of 10, for what it is.

WHO IS CLETUS TOUT is one of those movies that is surprisingly better than expectations will allow. Christian Slater plays a con who gets mistaken for a man wanted by the mob, and Tim Allen is a hitman who needs a reality check. There's a lot of chuckles to be had, and the film as a whole works.6 out of 10

I ran across this film last night when looking through the movie listings. I had never heard of it but after reading the description thought it worthy of a look, and plus I love Tim Allen.I was pleasantly surprised by the film and would recommend it! Good cast, including Tim Allen whom I feel is underrated at best. Christian Slater was charming and Portia Di Rossi was adorable. Plus, it had a good story! I could be more verbose on this topic, but I'd rather let you decide for yourself what you think of the film.
