Which is not the fault of the cast. James Gandolfini and S. Caan do have really great moments together (although you would like to see more of them ... especially Gandolfini). Jared Leto and Salma Hayek are great too. The only one I wasn't entirely convinced with was J. Travolta!
A stronger lead would have helped enormously, because you don't get to spend so much time with the characters. Subplots do spice up the story, but they're mostly not entirely convincing too. That leaves you with the main plot, which does feel like a crime noir, but it's not as good as it could be. I can't explain that, without going into details and spoiling some of the stuff, so I will leave it at that!
