Limitless potential, limited execution, however the concept and the cinematography carry it just enough to make it a movie I'm glad I finally watched.

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2020)

Even though I'm glad I watched this movie, I can't help but feel the disappointment of something that could have been significantly better, which I'm sure most viewers echo this sentiment....And man!... did this have some gargantuan plot holes. I wouldn't completely disagree with a viewer who couldn't get beyond it. I probably wouldn't have if this type of thing wasn't so typical in movies, however they should be pointed out.
Somehow homeboy, using his brain to the max, never accounted for running out of pills... perhaps figuring out a way to get or manufacture more? Eddie even runs out at the worst possible times (not once but twice) in which he knew would happen if all went well with the meeting (with Carl Van Loon- the De Nero character), so why put yourself in a situation on your run out day, knowing that you will look like a jackhole when you can't deliver? I won't even get into the nonsense with the Russian dude.
And man!... did it seem like they cut out a chunk of this movie or ran out of time. Apparently Eddie establishes more of a relationship/partnership/rivalry with the Carl then the viewer ever gets to see. So for this movie to end with Eddie one upping/beating Carl makes very little sense, since such a rivalry was never established. And lastly....a politician? Talk about limitations.
