As much as I can appreciate the idea of thoughtful and reformed gangsters and hitmen, partners that learn to accept that their spouses are not chattel and that when a relatiionship is over, both parties as individual human beings should maturely hang up their ego's and move on with their lives, or, that many underworld figures are in fact half-wits rather than street-wise geniuses, 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' really doesn't do it for me. Part gangsta film, part "comedy", part sci-fi, part romance and melodrama BenDavid Grabinski(who) 's film doesn't really nail any of these genre's. Whilst I suspect it is mostly aimed at the "Comedy" element, it just doesn't have the timing to pull this off, and whilst the cast do a fairly good imitation of a walk through, they themselves seem a little underwhelmed by the material. Quicken the pace, lose the flashbacks, give the nick(sic)named characters actual eccentricities to hang the names on, and supply a cockney voice-over, and you might have something...There are loose hints of a sequel, but for god's sake, say it ain't so...
