Faithful (1996 film)

Faithful is a 1996 American comedy crime drama film directed by Paul Mazursky and starring Cher, Chazz Palminteri and Ryan O'Neal.

[7][8] Writing in Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman described it as "an awkward hybrid of Deathtrap, Scenes from a Marriage, and a David Mamet barstool rant.

"[9] The Austin Chronicle gave it one and a half stars, commenting that "The dialogue packs a lot of witty one-liners, yet their power is insufficient to carry this dud.

Palminteri is carving himself a familiar niche as a personifier of tough guys with soft spots, but this chatty hit man is not of this world.

He gave Faithful two and a half stars, summarizing it as "the kind of movie that's diverting while you're watching it, mostly because of the actors' appeal, but it evaporates the moment it's over, because it’s not really about anything.
