Overhyped and Unoriginal, with a fine gloss

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2003)

"Masterpiece." "Innovative." "Brilliant."
These are some of the words that IMDB users have used to described this movie. I have to say they must have watched a different movie than what I did.
Characters have cool-sounding Dick Tracy names (Brick Top, Gorgeous George, Boris the Blade). There was no reason for it.
Brad Pitt only had that unintelligible accent because he couldn't do an Irish one good enough. And people say this was his best work! What's that say about his acting ability?
The films saving graces are Dennis Farina as Cousin Avi, and Jason Statham as Turkish. This is Farina's best work since "Get Shorty." Having never seen Statham before, I was pretty impressed. I even chuckled at the "Zee Germans" line.
So, do I have anything to declare?
Yeah, don't see this movie.
