Not a hit (dvd)

Rating: 4/10 (13 February 2012)

For the moment, the simultaneous pairing of Al & Bob isn't unforgettable. As in "Law and Order", the movie is boring. If the duo copes well, the fault is on the story and the directing. About the story, this cop/gangster is stupid because the cops find the crew easily when they are planning while they fail when the crew attacks. Worse, all the characters manage easily their jobs while they got problems with their relationships! About the directing, the scenes are slow and there are a lot of useless moments. If Mann forgot to go in editing room, i haven't forgotten my fast forward button on my remote. There are a few good moments (Natalie's scenes, Bob's trap, the last chase) but it's not enough and not worthy of 160 minutes! To close the case, the hair style is particularly hideous from Kilmer, to Bob, to Voight (who stays definitely in the bottom of supporting actors!).
