The Big Kahuna (1999)
Two older cynical salesmen and a younger guy from the Company’s research department wait in a hotel suite for the arrival of the Big Kahuna (Big Shot in English) whose potential orders might save their financial bacon.
A ‘talkie’ as opposed to a ‘movie’ and based on the play ‘Hospitality Suite’ by Ron Komora, it is a single-set (for 95% of the time) three-hander starring Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito and Peter Facinelli who gossip, joke, argue, boast, bare their souls and act their little cotton socks off for 90 minutes. I loved it.
A gem but, as more than one IMDB reviewer has warned, not one for the Action junkies.
Fun fact: New Jersey born, Kevin Spacey decided to be an actor during a trip to London when he was 10.
