I can't say I didn't enjoy this movie, because I did. There are two things that bothered me, however, both having to with believability. First, it's hard for me to believe a person would go to such lengths for $140,000 (no, $70,000--good running gag). Is he that angry? Financially desperate? Stupid? Or just has a strong set of values (in a supposedly "bad" guy)? Secondly, the ease with which he single-handedly infiltrates supposedly huge mob figures is hard to swallow. Exciting, yes. Plausible, no. But I suppose that's what action pictures are all about.
One other note: the dark cinematography was consistent and interesting, but became rather irritating over the course of the movie.
Overall, interesting enough to be worth a look for most folks, especially Mel fans.
