Don't Call me Donut

Warning: Spoilers
Charlie Swift (Pierce Brosnan) describes himself as a concierge for the Biloxi mob. He works directly for Stan Mullen (James Caan-last film) whose memory is slipping badly and Charlie must care for him. Charlie picks up a guy named Blade (Brennan Keel Cook) because he stabs people. A man named Rollo is the target. Rather than stab Rollo, Blade decides he would use an exploding donut which removes Rollo's head making identification difficult. Charlie, our fixer, contacts his ex-wife Marcie Kramer (Morena Baccarin) to provide a means of identification. This was done as a favor to Marcano Beggar (Gbenga Akinnagbe) who runs the New Orleans chapter. Without warning, Beaggar's men put the hit on Stan and his crew. Charlie is out for revenge.

Pierce Brosnan does a better job as a southerner than Sean Connery did as a Russian submarine captain. This is your basic crime boss revenge type of film with a love story mixed in so the wives can watch it. The characters are colorful and at times comical making it easy to watch.

Guide: F-word. No sexy or nudity.
