If i had watched this movie alone i wouldn't have made it to the end, in fact i would have stopped 15-20 minutes in.

It's such a weird beginning, weird pace and...i dunno how to describe it, but i rarely NOT watch the entire film once i start. But here i wanted to give up after 15-20 minutes. My friend said "wait" so i waited...and i'm glad i did :) I liked this film immensely, i really did, and other that those first 15 minutes or so there isn't anything bad about it. Well there is one other thing i didn't quite understand, and that is Chris Rocks role in it. My opinion is give him either a much bigger role, or a much smaller one so that you don't really notice him, or cut him out completely. Right now his role is very anticlimactic. Imagine walking down the street to meet somebody but you're 20 minutes early so you're kind of hoping that something pops up to keep you distracted while you wait. A phonecall, news alert, maybe you'll run in to someone you know...whatever. When suddenly someone very attractive grabs you gently by the arm, looks at you with an excited expression and says "Hi. Could i please ask you to...(then stops mid-sentence, and goes) ...i'm sorry nevermind" and walks away. Clearly i'm not a writer but i hope that i helps to paint a picture of that there's kind of a build up that never really leads to anything every time he's on screen Anyway... that's the one "bad" thing about the movie, and it's not even bad rally, to tell you the truth. It just could have been better by giving him either more space or make him "invisible" so to speak.

I hardly ever take the time to write a review, but in this case i felt i kind of had to after seeing the low score of 6.1. I mean what!?? That's not fair at all. REMEMBER that they are trying to stick close to a true story, and a true story rarely play like a Hollywood blockbuster. If you haven't seen it give it a go. Just don't expect it to be a "mobster-movie" with gunfights and car chases, cos it's far from it.
