Depart before this movie starts.

Rating: 3/10 (3 May 2007)

Jack Nicholson is a real good villain, period.
As for the story - it starts off as extremely intriguing, a brick here, a brick there, great acting, and still, in the end, which is blatant and potty, you feel there has been much ado about nothing.
Everybody shooting everybody for various reasons is a possible finish-off, no doubt. But then why take the efforts to build up a fantastic background in the style of the best Mafia movies so far and then end in a shooting scene which is not original, not exciting, not interesting, not comprehensible, and does not follow logically from the plot.
I think there could have been a lot more to this story but they have either ran out of time or money or patience or their common sense. It is regrettable, since the build-up of the characters is so extraordinarily good and it all goes down the drain at the end of the day.
