I admit I was just going to see this film for the close-ups of my favorite actor Billy Zane because its been far too long since I've seen his face on the big screen. However, the film was actually well done and had an interesting 60's tone which is pulled off very well. But the one thing that bothered me was why the title "CQ" ? It had one brief reference to CQ > seeks you but not enough to name a whole movie after it. Anyway, Billy did a good job and was very entertaining so for all you Billy fans, go see CQ if you can find it playing near you.

The Tall Guy
(1989)
A guilty British Pleasure :)
3 August 2002
Well, all I can say is I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I feel that this movie is a little sick and perverse at times, but thats just my sense of humor. It makes me feel a little more normal to find a movie like the tall guy in which its writers are more sick and twisted than I am. This is one of those movies that you just have to let yourself laugh at. Even if your mind is telling you "why are you laughing at that? Your sick !" It is british humor at its best. I am a big Jeff Goldblum fan, and this movie only increases his appeal. His awkwardness is perfect for the character and adds more laughs to the already hilarious cast. If you are the type of person who has an intelligent but strange sense of humor like me then you will love THE TALL GUY.
