An all-star cast enlivens this mobster movie. Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan,Battlefield Earth) plays the central role of Matty, the son of a mob boss (Dennis Hopper,Blue Velvet,Speed) who's reluctant to give his son a shot at crime. Alas, when Matty and his posse of friends--tough guy Vin Diesel (Boiler Room,XXX), lover boy Andrew Davoli (The Sopranos), and screw-up Seth Green (theAustin Powersmovies)--finally get an opportunity, they fumble the job, and a very important satchel of money ends up in a Montana town where the wily sheriff (Tom Noonan,Manhunter) decides he deserves a bonus for his years of public service. The posse's problems get worse when Matty's ruthless uncle (John Malkovich) comes to town to clean up the mess. Mechanical and unimaginative, but the capable performances keep it moving.--Bret Fetzer
Not all that bad The story is pretty simple. The son of a wiseguy trusted his friend to bring like 500.000 $ back from somewhere. But his friend, who was flying the plane got a little high on coke and got a little paranoid, so he placed the bag with the money somewhere while he had his plane refueled. Sadly the bag got on another plane by mistake and well.. He and his friends go to the Town the plane went to. I mean it has interesting characters played by great actors like Dennis Hopper, John Malkovich, Vin Diesel and finally Seth Green. The movie consists of a lot of profanity, a bit of drug use, a little bit of violence. (something for everyone).. Well and it's just light entertainment. You can't expect too much of this movie. The main problem is that the movie itself isn't sure what it wants to be. I mean, is it a comedy or a thriller or what? My final thought: Even though it's produced by Lawrence Bender (Tarantinos Producer), it is NOT a movie that inherits the qualities of most of his other producing ventures. But it is still watchable and a nice avocation so lets say 3/5
(:D) its good for me thought it was good didn't think it would be entertaining good job by the actors...OK Movie I was expecting this to be pretty bad. It wasn't. It wasn't very good either. The story, the pacing and for the most part, the acting (especially Pepper, who was excellent) was good, and it's fairly beleivable. Malkovich is hamming it up as usual, a few of the characters are poorly written, it is in serious need of a good soundtrack, and it's predictable. It ain't Goodfella's, but it's not as bad as the critics would have you believe either.
