This film was pretty much a yawner. I'm not a big Pacino fan (I think he's been in great films and he's been in horrible films). Nor am I a great fan of crime thrillers. But this film got decent ratings on IMDb so I decided to check it out.
The film is pretty much a cookie-cutter crime thriller. Nothing new or interesting is brought to the table. The characters are flat. They make dumb decisions that normal people probably wouldn't take, but it needed to contribute to the end result. I won't go into details as not to spoil it for those who will actually watch it. the acting was pretty much hit-or-miss. Pacino's character is realized in a manner I've seen in most of his performances. It's OK I guess the first half dozen or so times but then you start to wonder if he has the capacity to leave his range of comfort. Other performances are average to poor. Since many of the characters are played by attractive females, I don't think acting ability was of utmost importance.
The movie itself is forgettable. As I said earlier it brings nothing new to its genre. You're likely to forget about it 88 minutes after having watched it. To me it had made-for-TV or direct-to-video written all over it. My recommendation is to save your hard-earned money and wait to see it on USA Network.
