Great movie but it needed...

Better character development. I think the weakest part of the movie was it's character development. The cast was great but the majority of the characters were just there. We hardly knew anything about them. I think the only character who was really developed well was Elleroy. Chazz only played a supporting role yet we knew the most about his character. Even Max's character was shrouded in mystery and Nick Nolte had the majority of the screentime too.

It's a shame really. Other than this, it was a great movie.

I agree but I also think secondary to the characterisation flaws the film also needed a bit more energy, either injected into the flow of the film or the way they framed the shots, just something was a little off or awkward about the direction of the film.

Excellent movie that needed a better more appreciative audience who understood what was on the line in the plot of this excellent movie. There are two stories in one here: the gov't shenanigans and Nolte's marriage.
