WHO IS CLETIS TOUT

Cinemavixion Review

"Who Is Cletis Tout?" is a quirky crime comedy that plays with the tropes of the genre through the eyes of a hitman with a cinematic worldview. Starring Christian Slater, the film delves into a convoluted plot of mistaken identities, a long-unsolved diamond heist, and the ensuing danger that follows a man who is not who he seems. Despite its ambitious premise, the film, directed by Chris Ver Wiel, garnered a mixed reception, reflected in its Rotten Tomatoes score of 23% and a Metacritic score of 36/100. While some may find its narrative inventive, others might be put off by its uneven tone and execution. Nevertheless, for fans of offbeat crime capers and Christian Slater's particular brand of intensity, "Who Is Cletis Tout?" offers a unique, albeit flawed, cinematic experience from 2001.
