The story line sounded promising and the review score seemed to support this.
However, in my opinion, the plot was seriously unrealistic and the script turned out to be ridiculously weak. As well as all the plot holes listed by "gustheaffen", there was the carrying of the corpse in the street and passing her off as being drunk to a passer-by; the wife's gullibility in not challenging Eagle's strange behaviour; no explanation as to why Bobby's son turned against him thus driving the final nail into his coffin; the coincidence of the murderer confessing to the police on the same day as Dom tells all to them, to mention just a few more!
The three main characters were frustrating from the beginning giving few clues that that were indeed true friends. Eagle was grossly selfish, Bobby was a ranting loser and Dom was thoroughly weak. None of the characters were at all likeable which probably explains why I thought the acting was also pretty poor.
I suppose if they had gone to the police at the outset (like most sane people would have done) there wouldn't have been a film.........sad or what?
