    Reeves often displays moderate to little affect onscreen; here his reserve suits the story, as the experience of acting helps the reticent loser find himself. Vera Farmiga crackles as the feisty star of the play, while James Caan, as the hero's accomplice, proves a most charming rogue.

    With a terrific cast led by Reeves, Vera Farmiga and a splendid James Caan, this is a fun comedy with irresistible heist and heart.

    Go for Caan and Farmiga, and stay to be surprised by Reeves.

    A grating muddle.

    Although the premise of the movie was reasonably straight forward, there was a surprising level of depth to it. Reaves is not the most expressive actor going around and that part seemed to be lacking. Overall quite a good watch. Not predictable.… Expand

    Vera Farmiga, Bill Duke, and James Caan are all stellar, but the pacing of this film is in the crapper. WAY too slow. We debated bolting at about the 80 minute mark, but felt we needed to stick around for the ending. I'm glad I did, but we wouldn't have missed much by leaving. By FAR, the best part of the movie is the soundtrack - it absolutely keeps you moving in your seat. (Probably meant to keep you awake.)… Expand

    The idea is not bad but the actors could not feel more detached from the project. The biggest crime committed was not actually making the film but more so that they actually released it for general consumption.… Expand

    I was looking forward to this movie as I do like Reaves and Caan, but I have to say, seriously, this is possibly the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure to sit through! James Caan's acting was the best here and Reave's was the worst, others were just ordinary at best. Don't waste your time!… Expand
