I saw "Crime Story", starring Richard Dreyfuss-Book Club, Piranha 3D; Mira Sorvino-Stuber, The Replacement Killers; D. W. Moffett-How to Get Away With Murder_tv, Friday Night Lights_tv and Cress Williams-Black Lightning_tv, Friday Night Lights_tv.
A movie with Richard Dreyfuss & Mira Sorvino, and you would think you were in for a good time. Wrong. It's a jumbled mess. And....it's based on a true story-it was also originally called, 'The Last Job'. Anyway, Richard plays a retired mob guy-he worked clean up duty for them-that has cancer. He also owns a bar and has quite a bit of cash stashed at his house and is estranged from his daughters-he remarried and they had issues. Mira is one of his daughters that is a police detective assigned protection duty to D. W., a congressman-the other daughter is in the hospital, dying. Cress plays one of the thieves that breaks into Richard's house to rob him. Richard goes hunting for them but discovers that there is more to the robbery than he first knew. There is also a sub plot about D. W. having a child out of wedlock. Like I said, a jumbled mess.
It's rated "R" for violence, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 38 minutes.
I wouldn't buy this on DVD. I wouldn't rent it, either. I'm not even sure if it's worth watching on cable but if you want to, then go for it.
