Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting from Nicholson and everyone else was pretty good, but the story needed some serious adjusting and it would of been better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A modern noir. An entertaining couple of hours with a knock-out cast -- Michael Caine! Jack Nicholson! Judy Davis! and Jennifer Lopez isn't bad either. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a sleeper when released, but turns out to have been an excellent thriller. The pacing is taught, the twists and turns really keep you on the edge of your seat. The one drawback is the high-handed musical score. Please give this overlooked movie a try, and try to tune out the lush soundtrack. The story, the actors and the sets are all superb. This is a fine crime film with dysfunctional-family drama to boot.
