The bad news is that this is Brian Tucker's first produced film script. One wonders what in the name of Hollywood made Mark Wahlberg want to produce it. It's rife with clichés, unlikely twists, unlikelier character development, and plodding plotting. One of my favorite scenes typifies the film's sensibility. It the has the Mayor's wife- complete with bodyguard and limo- conducting a secret rendezvous on a riverfront promenade... disguised by a scarf and BIG sunglasses on a gray overcast day.
The worse news is that some really competent, if not gifted, actors waste their time here. Whatever money they were paid was not worth the waits.
And the worst news is that according to IMDb, Tucker has another script in pre-production. The new one is called "Expiration" and people who really enjoy movies should hope that the title is predictive of the script's shelf life.
