REVIEWS Review by James Beacon (posted on 14-May-2005) Set in the 1930s, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Kelly, a goodhearted man who is forced into a life of crime to pay off his mother's health debts. Soon enough, he takes on the surname "Dangerously", and he is living in the lap of luxury through the money crime pays him. His kid brother Tommy becomes DA, and "Dangerously" is forced to make a decision: fight Tommy, or go legit. He tries the latter, but nemisis Danny Vermin (played by Joe Piscopo) foils him and Dangerously ends up in jail. He breaks out just in time to save his brother from the wrath of Vermin. In this enjoyable comedy, Keaton is fantastic as the quick-witted Kelly. Piscapo, although critics thought otherwise, delivers a hilarious performance as Vermin. Overall, good movie to watch with friends. Perhaps not family, though.
