Stand Off

This film is called "Whole Lotta Sole" in Ireland ( where it was made) and the UK; it's a little gem that tells it's tale and life's lessons with loads of charm and humor. Perhaps promoters in the US thought they'd sell it better here as some kind of tough, violent gangster movie? Yes, some of the characters are or are related to gangsters but that's so much beside the point! This movie is deserving of far better ~ Though it doesn't have the same touch of the fae,it belongs more with films like "Into the West"and "The Secret of Roan Inish" and even some of the intent of "Snatch".

Any fan of Brendan Fraser and Colm Meaney will definitely want to see this one. It is watchable by most the family. Fraser plays a man that tries to escape his wife and her mafia family in New York by going to Ireland. There he runs his Uncles Antique shop while he's away. Meaney plays the officer in charge at the hostage negotiations.Spoiler: He gets caught up in the escape of a fish market robber in the shop, and to make matters worse the bag he took is wanted by the Irish mafia. Then what he would never expect is to meet his son and grandson while he is there. This is a fun movie and not at all what I expected.CA Luster

Interesting movie.

While not my favorite Brendan Fraser movie, Stand Off was still worth watching at least once. Brendan delivers a great performance, but the script he had to work with could have been a bit better.

Pritty good movie and some action

Slow starter but a very entertaining movie. The cast was great and the story kept you on you on your toes waiting for the next turn of events. Brendan Fraser always funny didn't fail here .

Our family enjoys this movie. Saw it when it first came out to Redbox and decided to add it to our collection.

This was a good movie. It was not advertise but I took a chance and found that it was enjoyable and I recommend anybody to watch.

I have seen this film a few times and I decided to buy the DVD.It is an excellent film. Simple plot and entertaining.

Great storyStill i dont like maffia of any sorts(Irish or italian or colombian)Great story thoughBye from a Wtiter

Outstanding, made me laugh so much , brilliant acting from all the cast xx

Always liked Brendan Fraser as an actor & delighted to see him in N Ireland where the film is set. Lots of local humour, incidental plots so the viewers attention is held throughout. Apart from some bad language, very suitable for a wide range of ages.
