It's really laughable to see the 10 ratings that are clearly friends and family being asked to rate the movie. Not many average moviegoers talk about the director, by name, hitting it out of the park.
This movie is bad guys, really bad. I'd say it was a "B" movie but I've seen some decent "B" movies so I'll say this is a "C" movie. Instead of being engulfed in the story and captivated, you find yourself shaking your head. Bad acting, WASTE of actual great acting talent and screenplay is high school play level. Vincent Pastore, Burt Young, Chaz Palminteri are all wasted in this movie. Chazz needed about 30 more min screen time and not the 5 he got. Vincent and Burt got about 10 seconds each. I don't normally hate on movies much but when it comes to mob movies, Do it right or please don't do it!!! People that are clamoring saying this is a mob movie done right, I hope you're on the payroll. The only and I mean only good part of this movie is the ending. 1) because that 20 second part was actually good and 2) this disaster was finally over, so there's that.
Oceans 11 this is not. No real "heist" here with an elaborate plan. Just "hey the cops show up at this time so let's rob it before they get here". Talk about lazy writing. So much potential with this movie and all wasted and I'm really mad about it. The premise of the movie, if done right, could have been a blockbuster. Instead is was just a buster
Save your time.
