The Dialogue, Freeman, & Sir Ben

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2006)

This film's cast and it's dialogue are the 2 best things going for this film. The 2 great thespians and it's rapid-fire dialogue are great. This film was definitely a superior film to the standard gangster, crime thriller offered. However, the humor, for me detracts from the overall enjoyment. The humor, for me, makes this an inferior film to Layer Cake. But this film is good, well written and competently directed. While I have never been a fan of Josh Hartnett, and still am not, his presence in the film was adequately played, especially when placed in scenes with Freeman & Sir Ben. Willis, seems to be playing the same character from The Jackal, nothing special there. The director definitely has a future in this business as do the writers, very well done. Grade A production for a Grade A cast.
