A dull opening heist sequence, horrific acting, painfully obtuse dialogue, long drawn out scenes of meaningless art discussion or Barcelona scenery, bumbling direction and shot sequences, characters you couldn't care less about, a stereotypical car chase through a street market,a pathetic love triangle. The failings just go on. No, seeing Ellen Pompeo in her bra or a wet shirt is not enough to make the movie remotely worth watching.

I love art heist films, but this is not one of the better examples of the genre. What it has going for it is pretty Ellen Pompano, who unfortunately is not a great actress, the cute little girl who plays her daughter, a lot of copies of El Greco paintings, Barcelona scenery, a flamenco dancing sequence. What it has going against it: a slow motorcycle chase, William Baldwin needing a good dose of styling mousse and seeming hapless, TWO bald candidates for lead villain, confused plot. Ms. Pompano's other love interest has better hair than Baldwin, but has a rather unconvincing role. A pretty spanish club girl is under utilized. The car chase is a little faster than the motorcycle chase, but it goes on too long. Heist movies are much better when they are comical and side with the criminals.

Niin huono ettei ollut edes hyvÃ¤. Melkein itketti. Puoli tÃ¤hteÃ¤ El Grecon maalauksista.

2.5 half-watchable action scenes surrounded by the ever-reliable packing materials of aimless dialogue, boring characters, and insipid bouts of rambling exposition.
