    Good movie...
    The story of the movie is acceptable.
    Acting is great. All the actors did a great job.
    Samuel L.Jackson's role is hard to understand. He's really a great actor.
    The other actors like Kevin Spacey, Paul Giamatti, David Morse, Michael Cudlitz and specifically J.T. Walsh's attendance in this movie is memorable.
    I like it.

    A taut thriller with excellent performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Comes a bit loose towards the end, but stays strong.

    Somewhat predictable plot, but the directing was great at building suspense and tension, and both Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey deliver electrifying performances.

    "I AM NOT GOING TO JAIL TODAY" Okay. Have we seen this in some measure? Yes. But I really love this film. Seeing my HOMETOWN (Chicago) in ALL it's splendor, nice action sequences, actors are wonderful, J.T. Walsh's last film, I believe and it's fun.

    Great ass movie. It's sad cuz my favorite actor gets his head blown off. (Paul Guilfoyle as Nate). Man that sucks. Samuel L. Jackson did a very good job in dis movie. Tryin to find out about the truth and he did. I hate the old guy and the three key players 4 settin Danny Roman up and killin his partner Nate.
