But in spite of all that--and in spite of the artfully lit interviews and energetic musical score--the documentary resolves into an accumulation of names, dates, and mundane procedural detail.

Though not a feelgood flick by any means, this encyclopedic recounting/bittersweet biopic does pay tribute to two dudes crazy enough not only to take on the mob, but to win for a while.

The trouble with this movie is that there are good guys and bad guys, but I didn't care. This movie didn't make me care.

Really? what a fricken all over the place film. My god i couldn't stand the no emotion acting of this film to the point of agony. However the music and actual story behind this film are great but it was executed so poorly.
