This script is so bad at times that I imagine it is a spoof. It's just bad. There are a couple of things that keep me going like what is the big secret. But, not even a cast of interesting folks can redeem this clumsy dialog. It never seems to achieve whatever it is that it is trying to be. The scenes disjointed. The characters are cliché. The music is nostalgic noir. It fails to be quirky film that resists categorization. It is just an awkward repertoire of floundering, disjointed scenes. I'd say it's worth a buck at the Redbox. It is still not worth the time. Clearly the author does not get motivation. I am really left wondering why Deniro and Cusak would sign on for this. Maybe if it was all unknowns and a self-funded venture, I'd give it some credit.
