“This filmmaker wanted to make a movie without having a story to tell — and did so. Really awful jumble of unlikely/unexplained coincidences and unidentifiable plot line, all without character or clear motivation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe get cliché snapshots instead of characters. One in particular is the diminutive and beautiful crime boss, who projects an overdone u0026quot;tough guyu0026quot; persona and casts a cartoonish shadow of intimidation over the actual tough guys who have been brought in to work for her. Nothing much startling to look at in the film except for one shot when the boys hit the road and one of them carries a tiny suitcase (as in, the smallest from a complete American Tourister set) in a bright, sky blue, without explanation or apology. Otherwise itu0026#39;s standard visually — one other exception is a compelling shot of a beautiful bridge in CT.”
