“I donu0026#39;t even know where to start on how absolutely bad this movie is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI typically only write reviews when a movie is unexpectedly great, or moving in one way or another. But I felt compelled to write a review for this movie, if nothing else than to send a message to Hollywood that viewers are actually smarter then they give us credit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou would think with a movie that features not one, not two, not three but four or more major actors would at least be tolerable. Wrong. Did I miss something, are actors just like the rest of us, living from paycheck to paycheck, barely making endu0026#39;s meet? Thatu0026#39;s the only excuse that would u0026quot;maybeu0026quot; allow me to accept why some of these people took these roles. Or perhaps there was an old u0026quot;debtu0026quot; that needed to be repaid to a director or studio? There must be some excuse, because anybody with any kind of preservation for their career would have passed. Robert (De Niro), are you serious? I watched you accept a lifetime achievement award a year or two ago and you went on and on about all the crappy roles youu0026#39;ve accepted in recent years (including u0026quot;Little Fockersu0026quot;, which by the way is head and shoulders about this movie) – and yet here you are again. ??? Please donu0026#39;t tell me YOU need a paycheck too? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBottom line: I would not be completely surprised if this movie wasnu0026#39;t written on the back of a bar napkin at some cheesy off the road place over the period of a couple hours. Character development is extremely shallow and inconsistent and story cohesion and development is about non-existent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDo yourself a favor and watch something else. Anything.”
