Adverse

Sad to see Mickey Roark in such a bad flick. As one other reviewer said, the crowbar scenes (which were many) were the high spots The middle-level drug dealer, who was stoned all the time and, I assume, didn't need to act at all, was so unbelievably bad, he was funny.

Actually, if you like B- noir and have nothing better to do, it's not the worst way to pass a little time. But, a good movie it ain't.

This had the potential to be a really good movie but it fell short. The graphics were bad and the acting between some of the high profile names was disappointing and emotionally lacking. I will say Matt Ryan killed his part and was probably the best actor in this film, though his name isn't listed anywhere in the headlines. If his part hadn't ran through most of the movie I would have lost interest and not finished watching it.

Just saw this film. Seeing as to how users react to this film, they are either extremist one way or the other. But the reality is it's not bad and it's not excellent. It's slightly above average and something I would expect to come from Grindstone. Although I will say it is slightly better than their other stuff. That is why it gets a 6 rating from me. The acting, directing, writing is all a little above average. The campaign is misleading. The trailer makes you believe that it's a nonstop action piece but it's more a slow burn drama up until towards the end. I read that Mickey Rourke is mumbling his lines but because I understand people who have cancer and put on mediations, I felt that was brilliantly acted. The production values are decent except some of the cgi blood. There are lots of great locations so it doesn't feel trapped or shot with 1 or 2 locations. The other surprise for me is that Mickey is in this film alot whereas I'm used to seeing him have a small cameo here or there and that is what I expected.

... if you remember Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks, Diner, and Angel Heart. In that respect, this is simply heartbreaking. BTW, the movie itself is awful.

And that's all it was... an all-star cast. I won't even call it that. It's a cast of actors I personally love. But man!!! It was hard to watch.
