      Charles Rose: So, essentially what you're telling me is that we got zilch. We got no prints on the car, we got 4 garden variety slugs. No witnesses, no van, no Farace.

    Early Samuel L Jackson
    When I see Samuel L Jackson name in the credits, I usually check it out. But this is not what you would expect. It's early Sam (I call him Sam, cuz I got it like that lol). He's has hair including the big bald spot. He hasn't picked up the weight (amazing what money, food and age will do to or for you lol). He's in the movie, but they spend the majority of the time trying to find out who killed him. The cast isn't bad, the acting is good. The storyline is somewhat predictable, but what mob movie isn't lol. This is not a movie night flick. Late night, Saturday or Sunday afternoon works. Nuff Said Mike Out. 0.
