An Andy Garcia Film with a very high priced support cast.

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2001)

The summary says it all. This movie was very disappointing to both my wife and myself. It utilized about a tenth of talent that these actors bring to the table. Andy Garcia had the only true acting assignment. With the exception of Matt Damon's scene with Bernie Mack in the casino office, I can't say that there was much to get excited about. And unfortunately, I caught that scene on the Tonight Show the other night. In fact, if you have seen more than two trailers on this movie,,,,then you have seen the movie. It doesn't get much better than that. Of course my biggest disappointment is with myself. I was sucked in by media hype and the big names. I was also misled by the actors plugging this as 'the funnest movie they ever made.' I am glad they had a good time. I just wish it wasn't at the movie viewer's expense. All of the actors in this film are outstanding. And I look forward to when they have other releases. This movie was just, well in a word, Bad. Can I get my money back??
