watchable.....
..... if predicable thriller on a timeworn theme - mob betrayal and revenge - but with a few new twists, some original and comic moments and a pair of engaging leads: not nice people, but you end up rooting for them! In the end a B-list movie, but a superior example of the genre with a little extra quirkiness.
