Sorry, But I'm Not Going To Root For A Punk, 15 May 2007
2/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

I just felt way too much of a Class B-type feel to this film to be appealing. In other words, this wasn't a classy-looking or sounding film. The best thing it had going for itself was the beginning in which there was an incredible scene involving a super-obnoxious punk who was looking for trouble.

Unfortunately, this "punk" turned out to be Patrick Dempsey playing "Charlie Farrow," and he was the main star of the film. Dempsey was way too cocky and unlikeable for me to be a sympathetic good-guy character. I could not root for him. In real life, by the way, "Farrow") would have been thrown out of the gambling casino (or poker game, in this case) LONG before any trouble started.
