Not worth the price of admission

Rating: 1/10 (15 March 2008)

A truly boorish movie. Utterly predictable and with a weak chase scene a rip-off of French Connection. But the worst part is the movie has no character development and seems like the script was written by committee. Truly no soul to this movie. The worst (or does this mean best?) of Hollywood is displayed in this movie that tries to be all things to all people, but ends up being nothing to anyone. Pointless. Violence for the sake of violence does not a movie make. The usual villains of corrupt cops, Italian thugs, and "the man" does not strike a chord. Finally when a movie wants to simultaneously vilify yet glorify a central character it tends to water down the movie. This movie tries but does not succeed. Truly disappointing!
