I don't comment on many films, but had to write a few words having finally seen this. How so many people manage to justify tearing it to shreds I have no idea. It's no masterpiece, and has some serious failings, but also dodges most obvious clichés and has some major high points.
The Affleck/Lopez pairing actually works quite well - I never really bought them as mob goons (him more than her), but as an on screen couple they work, and their characters as a whole come out as quite well rounded (just not their occupations).
It suffers from being too long, and the ending especially should have been a lot tighter, but that merely places it into the "average" bracket, not the "unimaginably awful" as some people would have you believe. If you want a truly abysmal film, watch Batman and Robin, or Robocop 3. For an entertaining 2 hours, with a couple of nicely surprising cameos and some great dialogue in parts, this really won't let you down.
