This is a well acted and stylish film which is let down by a poor script.
Keitel is great in the lead and De Niro steals a lot of scenes as the out of control friend but the good cast are wasted.
Nothing much happens. A little action and violence but that is it. It is a slight character study of a nice guy living in a bad place but that wasn't enough to sustain my interest.
I was expecting a lot having heard the name and read some of then comments on this site as well as seeing the quality of the cast and I was extremely disappointed.
I was bored throughout.
