I went into this movie with little expectations but I did read some reviews prior to it. Suffice to say this movie could have been a LOT better. Surely it's worst problem is the script and storyline, it just didn't go any place the movie hadn't been visiting already. The whole thing felt like it was on repeat and it wasn't in a hurry to rewind. The acting I thought was pretty solid but cringeworthy oneliners kept hitting me over the head.
Storywise, the movie didn't make a whole lot of sense. Our protagonist is supposed to be this tough guy but he's clearly in over his head and not the person you'd trust a an important drugdeal with. I didn't even get why he was present at the deal to begin with. Way too much drama was infused into this crime-movie but in such untimely fashion that caring for the characters was not its result.
There are however some redeeming qualities. The score was pretty good and the cinematography excellent. The car-chase specifically stood out. And of course it's always nice to see Robert Duval.
All in all I wouldn't recommend it rather than to catch it when it's on TV some rainy evening. You could do a lot worse.
