By TROY CULL1SON Special to the Herald Anyone who has ever had 'one of those days,' will appreciate the humor in Bill Murray's new comedy, "Quick Change."

Jason Robards does a fine job as the cagey police chief, playing a mental game of cat and mouse with his criminal counterpart. Introduced, but never fully developed, is the bond that he and Murray share; outrageous.
