Get Shorty

Get Shorty (1995) charts the acclimatization of Chili Palmer, a Miami enforcer, to the treacherous waters of Los Angeles cinema, where he is dispatched to reclaim a debt from Harry Zimm, a producer of schlock horror. Amidst the neon-lit backlots and contract negotiations, Chili’s encounter with Zimm’s leading lady ignites a personal flame, while his pitch for his own life story reveals the thin veneer separating organized crime from the fantasy of Hollywood’s celluloid dreams.
