Being a fan of Ryan Reynolds, I was expecting a great action movie with some witty one liners, what I got was a very confusing story, with a bad plot. It's another gangster/mob movie, which are getting very tired these days.
The acting was pretty rigid, although I think alot of this was down to the poor script. The characters were stero typical mobsters and federal agents and no one really sttod out,
There are no real stars to this movie, just a few big names who let down by the writers and producers.
I managed to stick it out to the end, but felt hughly let down and gutted I'd paid for the dvd, definitely not woth buying. You may need a few beers to watch it all!!

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
