The Impostors
With pleasing silence a spat turns slapstick, amplified by two fellas named Stan & Oliver.
In a building flurry of sugar stoppages and deliberate cigarette streams, our dubious duelists are expertly slotted between the credits that begin Stanley Tucci’s spirited farce, “The Impostors.” The snappy conclusion, a vibrant cross screen leap, is the director jumping in with both feet. We’re better off for it.

Can anyone tell me what kind of font they used in the End Credits?
I thought it was brilliant especially the music, I guessed it was Astor Piazzolla’s Nuevo Tango. It worked well with the funny scene.

Stan and Oliver, like Laurel and Hardy. I actually never thought about that before. Great film: “To life, and its many deaths.”
One of my favorite movies of all time. Great scenes.
