working from a glib, chatty script by Robert Lowell that's not as cleverly hatched as it likes to think it is, Haley whips it into something reasonably entertaining even as you start thinking about how truly great "Get Shorty"
Criminal Activities is the latest in the line of satisfying, low-budget contemporary noir (The Gift, The Guest, The Suicide Theory) that offers an alternative to the car-chase thrillers that Hollywood churns out
an eleventh-hour twist adds a bit of intrigue, and everyone - including Haley himself, as a henchman - seems to be having a pretty good time. Sadly, Travolta's hard-working wig doesn't get its own screen credit
