BLUE IGUANA

Cinemavixion Review

Hadi Hajaig's "Blue Iguana" offers a frenetic, if somewhat uneven, dive into the criminal underworld of London, featuring a standout performance from Sam Rockwell. Rockwell, alongside Ben Schwartz, portrays two low-level crooks whose lives become entangled with a sharp, insecure lawyer, played by Phoebe Fox. The plot, centering on the theft of a rare jewel coveted by a dangerous gangster, allows for a blend of action, comedy, and unexpected romance. While the film garnered mixed reviews, with a Metacritic score of 30 and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 33%, it is praised for its anarchic spirit and Rockwell's charismatic turn. Released in 2018, this British crime-comedy attempts to balance its outlandish scenarios with moments of genuine character development, making it a curious watch for fans of unconventional thrillers.
