Rated R for language and violence
Starring John Cusack, Recbecca Da Costa, Robert DeNiro
Directed by David Grovic
The Story:
A hit man (Cusack) is sent to retrieve a bag for his boss (DeNiro) with specific instructions: Don't look inside the bag. Then more and more people show up trying to kill the hit man and keep the bag for themselves. What kind of set-up is this??
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
And I'm not sure which one I'm referring to more, Cusack or DeNiro.
Both do a fine job, but any good actor can just go through the motions and still give a decent performance.
Direct to DVD is one thing...
Direct to boredom is quite something else.
I think I dozed off a few times during the film, but I still don't think I missed anything of real importance.
Needless to say, he doesn't look in the bag, but you can probably guess what is in the bag if you've seen any thriller, ever.
You can probably guess who sent the people to kill our hero, including the "hooker" (Da Costa).
It's a waste of talent, and your time.
Final Grade: D+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Don't look in the DVD sleeve!
