The film shows its age, by playing out in a strange format that looks old and clunky...

Uneven action, flat acting, and a narrow plot that leaves little room for empathy.

Rated: 54/100

Crowe was at the screening of the movie and I wished someone would have asked him "How could you do this movie after doing LA Confidential?"
