Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ty Jensen Vin Diesel was my reason for seeing this and it was worthy. This movie is average on the good side, it's worth watching once and I don't think I'll watch this again. The premise is a gangster loses money at a small town airport so his three friends travel there to help him find the money so they won't get killed.Barry Pepper is the lead, he plays Matty, I forgot his last name, it's not important, the son of a New York Mafia under boss. He wants to become a citizen, have a normal life but he can't because no one wants to hire him because of his father. He's likable, he's an anti-hero who wants to do his job and not hurt anyone. Vin Diesel plays a tough guy, a muscular guy named Taylor. The character may be a typical Vin Diesel character but he isn't one dimensional. Seth Green plays Johnny Marbles, the guy who lost the money. He's paranoid, he naturally wants to make up for his error and he's supposed to be a funny character. Yes the acting is great, in fact that's the bread and butter or cherry.According to a few other reviews here this movie has some subtle dark humour. The humour sucked for me, maybe a few jokes will make me laugh if and when I'll watch this again. The movie's pace is fine, I never felt bored and anyone can find the first half hour slow. There are a few weak surprises and no I won't spoil them. Don't expect a lot of action or violence, maybe every movie store chain labelled this as an action movie. It's weird the Ocean movies are labelled that way and the first Pirates movie is labelled as a drama. This movie is an okay time killer, it's worth renting or watching on TV which I did.

aces_boss_yo I loved this film. It has a little bit of everything.It seemed to portray the characters as believable and real. Most of the Gangster style flicks always have a thick romantic plot line,where this film portrayed the guys as just regular Joes.Sure, there were women in the film, but there was no "guy get's the girl" type ending. My favorite scene was the bar/fight scene and the music playing in the background, was, ROMEO'S TUNE by :Steve Forbert.This was pure genius.I watch a lot of movies,and this one has stayed with me. It is definitely worth watching, at the least.I purchased it, myself. The soundtrack is mostly cheesy, but there is some good old stuff on it.I think that is where they cut some of their budget, for the guy referring to it as a low-budg pic. I don't happen to care what the budget of a movie is. IMO, the studios w/the big budgets spiy out more crap than all Indies out there.

thalb From the perspective of a 23 year old, this movie is pretty good. Very exciting. I have seen GoodFellas and I think this one is better even though it's quite the copy.This movie is about these untouchable mafia guys that are trying to get something back which every time they get close to it it gets worse and you think they will never get it.I need a minimum of 10 lines for my comment, thats odd. Line 10 here it is. Hm, blank lines don't count. Line 10 again. Wow, this is really frustrating, wen't through all the trouble of creating an account and now this crap.

ccthemovieman-1 This is another of those films I thought was great the first time, so-so on the second. Overall, it got high marks - at least on the first viewing - because it's an entertaining film that doesn't overstay its welcome at 92 minutes.Four young guys get involved in their first Mafia-type adventure. One is asked to do a simple job of picking up a bag of money out west and bringing it back home to Brooklyn. However, troubles ensue big-time when the bag is stolen at the little airport out West. His three friends have to come out and help him get the money back and all kinds of problems develop.There is some black humor in here which helps spice up the film, which then turns very serious about halfway through with a few shocking twists near the end.There are two famous veteran actors in here - Dennis Hopper and John Malkovich - and four young ones who becoming better known these days as well: Seth Green, Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper and Andrew Davoli.The only problem I had with the movie is Pepper, who played Roger Maris, the famous baseball player in the film '61." He looks so much like Maris that I can't believe him as anyone else! To us baseball fans, Pepper will always be Maris and nobody else.
