Why the bad taste
I was really looking forward to watching this film , so i'm a little disappointed.
The film isn't bad, but its not great either,
It's got the plot , good actors, so why does it leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Maybe the story is streached out too far , perhaps the film is just to long. Colin Farrell has acted better in the film 'In Bruges', but there again he isn't bad in this either.
I can't put my finger on exactly whats wrong with this film, but something is, perhaps someone can help me out?.
What is wrong
Just noticed tthe other review on this film and i must agree.
I watched this film tonight and was left feeling disappointed.
Something is wrong but like the other reviewer i can't put my finger on it either.
Top stuff *****
I went into the cinema thinking this was something similar to We Own The Night with Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix and it turned out to be nothing like it but sometimes it was bugging me because if you have seen We Own The Night you can't help comparing it straight away, well with me anyway. But this was a real cop and cash thriller of a film with some nail biting performances and keeps you really glued to the screen. It was a 130 mins film and you would never notice that so OK we have come across films with police corruption this was more where what's gonna happen next and ooh! I didn't expect that. This is Edward Norton at his best and probably Colin Farrel's best film to date.
