Continuity: When Rudy is pointing the water pistol at one of the gang members, at one angle, his arm is fully extended. At a different angle, his elbow is bent so we can see the gun as his face in the same shot. When they cut back and forth, Rudy's arm jumps from extended to bent and back.See more »

An 
company.
Uninteresting movie about an auto-theft convict (Affleck) who, after a name switch, claims to be his recently murdered prison inmate. Why? Well, his friend had a girlfriend Ashley (Theron). After seeing Charlize Theron's bosom wiggle, who would be dumb enough not to? Of course, her gun-toting, money obsessed, extremely peeved brother (Sinise) may be one reason.
The movie feels very much like a normal TV movie, and Affleck's acting is just too unrealistic. In one part of the movie, Sinise hands Affleck a map of the casino. Ben's acting that, "the original layout of the map changed" was so unbelievable that any gun toting impatient man would have blown Affleck's brains out as soon as he played stupid. Theron, although unbelievably sexy, has a lot to learn if a few cute smiles, extremely deep kisses, and showing off her incredible body thinks it will make her acting career go any further than what she makes.
This movie, although having a satisfactory ending and showing an unusually buff but cool Sinise, is TV material at least. Rental at most. Watch it with hot chocolate, and some pecan pie.
