Did anyone see this?

Sadly, yes. Good acting, and the premise was cool as hell. Too bad it dragged on forever, because the writing was bloody awful.

yeah... I'm with ya on this one. I could literally FEEL myself watching the movie if that makes any sense. just never bought it for a second. overly stylized, message was about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the head and I just never felt myself slipping into the movie.

 

[Gee!]

Anyone besides Hollywood critics see this?

hollywood critic here and even though our tastes differ drastically, I can almost guarantee you're not going to like this.

this movie seems like it was MADE for "Hollywood Critics" to love and it just totally missed the mark.

Did anyone see this?

I'm a big fan of dialog, so I liked it. It's not your typical mob crime film though. It also helped that some of my favorite actors where in it. The final clip with Pitt's monologue was classic.

 

[BigRedRage]

wow, thats one hell of a cast. amazing how I just dont hear about some movies when you would think everyone would know about this one.

As one critic stated, "With such a strong cast, it's hard to imagine how things went so wrong."

Stylized crap. 2 out of 5 stars.
