Intense...ly Dull
I watched this in the cinema with a few friends. Please, I beg of you, don't go and see this movie. It's only redeeming feature is a shootout in the Guggenheim in New York. Admittedly, it was a fairly good shoot out, but it's conclusion and result are confusing and badly thought out. The ending is appalling and absolutely pointless. In fact, the entire movie is appalling and absolutely pointless and, at points, painfully obvious. I repeat, do NOT pay money to watch this.
