I want my 2 hours back, 28 May 2003
2/10
Author: mlahr99 from Kansas City, MO

What a dud! Even the tiniest actions in this movie are telegraphed in the plot. There's no sympathy for any of the characters - they're vicious murderers who are, at times, so stupid that it's a miracle they've survived to adulthood (i.e. making your great escape leaving your wallet behind or dressing in the coat & hat of the person every thug in Hell's Kitchen is looking to kill). I wish I had those 2 hours of my life back - I'd watch grass grow or paint dry instead.
