Throw Momma from the Train (1987). A bitter ex-husband wants his former spouse dead. A put-upon momma's boy wants his mother dead. Who will pull it off?
Danny DeVito's feature directorial debut! It's pretty hard to deny his talent for comedic timing and this film is high energy for the entirety of its short run time, but my feelings for it overall are pretty mixed. It's genuinely funny, and DeVito is in top form as a wannabe writer living under his abusive mother's thumb, but as a whole, this movie just feels really sexist and liberal use of gendered slurs as well as the lingering on violence against women, particularly the choking scene towards the end, just left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Not really for me, unfortunately. 5/10.
