Couldn't watch it, even with help of fast-forward button...


This probably could've been a good film, but everything was made for three year olds. Dialogues, scenes, setups, everything screams "Pay attention here, something important coming up! Here, again, just in case you missed it! And again! OK, you got it? OK, we can move on..." and then it was all protracted for ever and ever with no style or richness in details.
Don't know how can a films like this get any votes. I watched first 35 min with strong use of FF button, because it was frankly tooooooo slooooow in every respect and even with that, I could not get interested. Most bad movies become better with the help of FF button, but not this one.

Ray Liotta is carrying his new bride to their suite - takes for ever and ever. Is taking too long supposed to be funny?

Then there's overacting, and even if I skipped all the painful parts, I can see there's a setup as soon as they entered the room... how come a hardened criminal cannot?

In the morning she goes to puke, and by now I am certain I know the rest of the movie: she gets his money, he chases her (probably to kill her or get his money back) and they fall in love (or someone does anyway) and/or they get in business together. Pretty sure that's what happens even though I have not watched it to the bitter end.

If I can tell where the film is going after seeing 30 seconds of it, that's a movie that should've never been made.
