    Stallone returns in a gangster remake that wears itself (and the audience) out trying to be cutting-edge stylish.

    We walked out and got our money back about 10 minutes into the movie. It was shot too close, Stalone looked awful. His eyeliner was too obvious. The acting was embarrassing. Was there a plot? As I said, we couldn't stay to find out. Besides, I had to rearrange my sock drawer. Expand
