“I went into this completely blind, but with so many of my favorite actors in it, I thought , what could go wrong ? Well, in this case, everything. A dreary, confused tale , this movie manages to completely waste the fine talents of Kinnaman and Monroe (whose part is small to begin with) but slaughters Matthias Schoenaerts , asking him to do little more then spend the film looking like heu0026#39;s wondering why heu0026#39;s in this. Everything about this is uninspired. The dialogue, which is sparse, is drivel or even worse is mumbled. I only understood about 70% of what the characters were saying. It takes a long while to even understand the characters relationships to one another, and events take place in the film with little explanation. This is a really poor mob movie that somehow managed to gather multiple great talents and then gave them very little to do. Poorly written, incredibly slow, confusing, unoriginal, miscast, and a bore.”
