The Ref (1994)
A Mini Movie Review by Dave Randal
Plot: A burglar is forced to take a bickering and dysfunctional family hostage on Christmas Eve.
Denis Leary stars in this dark comedy as a burglar who holds a dysfunctional family hostage after a robbery goes bad. I wouldn't exactly call Denis Leary a great actor, but he is a really funny stand up comic and can rant better than just about anybody. As an actor he doesn't have a ton of range although I don't think it really matters especially when he plays pissed off ranting assholes like he does here.
