A film that tries to cast Mike Tyson as an intellectual is never going to be that good. Odd film that shows how some white kids think it's cool to act gangster. Also shows how a promising basketball player gets caught up in the illegal activities of his friends.
An amzing cast. Which is probably why I was bored to tears. Too much money, not enough development or characterization.
Not really ground breaking or anything. The story wasn't all that enthralling, but there were some excellent performances, namely Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr. Worth watching if you stubble across it, but I wouldn't recommend spending any money on it.
i wanted to like it but had to turn it off after 30 minutes of watching it
The only good thing about this film was Robert Downey Jr. and unfortunately I didn't see him long enough to enjoy the film as a whole.
This lively mess proves that when Toback loses his head, he does it with style. full review
Like James Toback himself, his new film is in your face, overflowing with ideas, outrageous in its connections, maddening, illogical and fascinating. full review
Looks pretty good. I like these kinda movies. Character studies or whatever...
