WHO IS CLETIS TOUT?

Cinemavixion Review

Chris Ver Wiel's "Who Is Cletis Tout?" is a delightfully convoluted caper that playfully intertwines mistaken identities, a cinematic obsession, and a long-forgotten diamond heist. Anchored by a charismatic performance from Christian Slater as a hitman whose worldview is filtered through a cinephile's lens, the film also benefits from the comedic timing of Tim Allen and Portia de Rossi. Despite a somewhat lukewarm critical reception, as indicated by its Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie offers a unique blend of action and comedy, exploring themes of perception and reality with a stylish, albeit low-budget, flair. Its modest box office return belies a clever script and engaging performances that make it a worthy watch for fans of quirky crime comedies.
