  • Starring: James Gandolfini, Robert Redford

    It's an even rarer pleasure to see a film that combines exciting action with a smart, well-informed script and vivid yet restrained performances.

    It's good enough, smart enough, and people will like it. It's also a high-concept cop-out, a convention-strangled genre movie that never zigs when your every instinct is screaming that it's about to zag.

    I don't know why Redford and the white-hot Gandolfini signed on for this fiasco, but the give-and-take between them is the film's sole pleasure.

    Easily one of the most underated movies of all time. An action packed, dramatic story, and great performances. It should and probably will be a classic.… Expand
