Plot:
An all-star cast enlivens this mobster movie. Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, Battlefield Earth) plays the central role of Matty, the son of a mob boss (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velve...( read more 
), Speed) who's reluctant to give his son a shot at crime. Alas, when Matty and his posse of friends--tough guy Vin Diesel (Boiler Room, XXX), lover boy Andrew Davoli (The Sopranos), and screw-up Seth Green (the Austin Powers movies)--finally get an opportunity, they fumble the job, and a very important satchel of money ends up in a Montana town where the wily sheriff (Tom Noonan, Manhunter) decides he deserves a bonus for his years of public service. The posse's problems get worse when Matty's ruthless uncle (John Malkovich) comes to town to clean up the mess. Mechanical and unimaginative, but the capable performances keep it moving. --Bret Fetzer

MCT:August 4, 2008Don't even bother. Some very cool guys in this one, but such bad acting. They tried way to hard to make a cool movie.

MCT:October 23, 2007I tend to like seth green. This movie had its moments, but I hate how Vin Diesel saves the day after we think he's dead.

Actually surprised me on how absorbing this movie really is.
Basic plot of mobsters losing money and then taking some drastic measures to recover it.
Pretty decent movie. Also confirms that John Malkovich is an A class bastard :P -

It was pretty good movie, it sucked when two of them died but thankfully Vin diesel didn'g get shot.

Not half bad.. not my favorite John Malkovich role by far.. .. and Vin Diesel SUCKS in this.. it's one slurred word after another.. his lines sounded like he had 2 cups of peanut butter in his mouth.. .. Even Dennis Hopper was not in top form.. Seth Green's role was minimal, but.. he owned it.. Barry Pepper was pretty good.. even though the character really wasn't that interesting..
This movie wasn't terribly original.. but, it's not bad either.. I did enjoy watching it.. despite it's flaws. -

Great cast, good plot, and yet it didn't quite deliver as well as I would have liked. It felt dry most of the time, with the few jokes not coming across at all funny, and the action/drama being less than interesting..
Too bad.. -
MCT:August 30, 2007It's been a long time since I have seen this one but I know, yes I know and I remember that I liked this one. And no, it's not just cause of Seth.

i love this film!! it really has a great story it's about the mafia about 4 friends, 2 of them sons of great mafioso bosses, one of them the muscle, and the other the buffoon and the plane pilot, so Barry Pepper as main role tries to get into his father's graces by helping him with any job, so his father (Dennis Hopper) sends him to take some money to a meet with a different organisation......while they stop in a redneck town shit really gets messed up they manage though with the help of Taylor(Vin Diesel) the muscle really kicks ass, with all star cast and action abound this movie really left a mark on me!!!! loved it!!! recommend it;)

aye not a bad movie typical gangsters with double crossing and taking on crooked cops worth the watch!
-
MCT:July 24, 2007
action film that doesn't last long gets straight to the point but including some twists and turns to make the movie more interesting
-
MCT:July 23, 2007
Vin Diesel and Seth Green were both great...but it didnt have a good enough plot. This one had been used too often already.
-
MCT:July 20, 2007
this is still probably the only movie i like Vin Diesel in as an actor. but everyone is just amazing in this. i love Barry Pepper and, of course, Malky. excellent mob flick with some funny lines: "who the fuck are Brooks & Dunn? people dance to this?" must see, must own!

If you're here looking for a crime flick with lots of violence and people getting blown to bits, you've come to the right film. A regular 80-minute action flick is a twist of your usual gangster movie, and it's good... just not great. Ending is impressive though.

Riding the coat tails of every other movie like this (snatch, lock stock..etc), you have one exceptionally average movie.

Run-of-the-mill is hardly the word to describe this story. Yes, we've seen something similar to this mobster flick, but nothing at all like it. I was looking for another actor that deserved to be idolized. Barry Pepper is it. The young blood talents of him, Diesel, and even Seth Green (of Robot Chicken fame) coupled with greats John Malkovich, although you must forgive how funny he sounds with a Brooklyn accent, and Dennis Hopper bring to life this story in a way only they could. Yes, there's nothing terribly original about the filming style, but unlike AHX, its great writing makes that fact incredibly insignificant. I love it.
