I held a poker face throughout
I'm not a huge fan of Russell Crowe, Gladiator was the only film I enjoyed with him in so take that as a given. I don't know any of the other actors very well, and certainly during the film no-one stood out and made me think oh yeah I remember a film with them in... In fact during the film no-one stood out.
I wasn't 100% sure of the plot anyway so I thought Jake Foley was going to rob all of his friends for some reason. It wasn't really that clear who was who and what was going on.
The plot was a bit odd too. 6 fit men with the element of surprise were always going to beat 3 fools no matter what happened.
Being honest the film felt very much like an amateur thriller from the 90's. I don't think it will win any awards and it certainly isn't a film you'd watch twice.
I've seen it now and it passed an hour and a half, I'll likely have forgotten about it by tomorrow. - You_PopCorn_ - 18 December 2022
Don't waste your time
I would like my six dollars and ninety nine cents back.
This film is boring and a waste of time.
A guy has cancer, he's mad ...... I still don't know why he's mad.
One of his friends is hooking up with his wife and got her pregnant. He should be mad about that but doesn't seem to care.
His other friends are boring.
His daughter is annoying.
His wife is a gold digger and hood rat.
There's a mansion with art work. A angry guy shows up to the mansion and chases them around. It's ridiculous.
I'm adding extra words because there is a mandatory minimum required characters.
Did I mention...this film is boring and a waste of time ?
You're welcome.
