Buy the soundtrack, SKIP THE MOVIE!!

Rating: 1/10 (11 December 2004)

This movie was BAD! I gave it a 2 b/c only tripe like "Independence Day" gets a 1 in my book. But this had very little to do w/ the original, except the cast (not a big surprise, though - not many sequels do follow the same story). Anyway, here's a stream-of-consciousness list of complaints: Bernie Mac completely marginalized and under-utilized; ditto Andy Garcia and Albert Finney; the tension between the two Mormon (?) brothers is not explained AT ALL & therefor completely unbelievable; the 'plot-line,' if you can call it that, is completely unbelievable - not once during the film did I find myself 'on-board,' or following along with the story; there cutting back to the robberies were trite, forced and not plausible.
Two redeeming parts are the jobs put in by the actor playing the Night Fox & the woman playing Brad Pitt's mom.
[Some of my details may not be 'on the mark,' but that's because this movie was so bad I don't care to do the research. I want my money back & since I can't get it back, I simply want to warn as many people as possible to AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS. If you're thinking of seeing this movie, just get a lighter and burn your money instead, you'd be getting more entertainment value from the fire (and warmth!!) than you would from seeing this movie.]
