I read a few of the reviews that tossed this film "under the bus" Decided I would give it a try anyway. After all I like most of the players that graced the stage in this unbelievable waste of film.
The plot starts a bit thin and never gets any deeper. A crime boss that commits himself then decides he's OK(or does he?) must get his town in order and re-connect with the only woman that can touch his jaded,bipolar,sociopathic heart.(that old chestnut)
Two hours of horrible dialog and even worse acting comes to a climax with predictable stupidity. The over cool good guys and wise cracking bad guy face off in a scenario that was meant to be exciting and unpredictable.I must say this actually hurt me to watch. Any time you have to have two of the main characters spend three or more minutes explaining what just happened, there is a good chance it was too ridiculous for the average person connect the dots. Then when the dots are connected you realize it wasn't worth connecting after all. And did I mention terrible acting? Ellen Barkin did an OK job the rest,especially Dreyfuss,were horrendous.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this disaster. Your time would be better spent watching infomercials or pulling your fingernails off.
