Stephen C @bob25009 Mar 7 Funny action movie in 1 hour and 51 minutes. Ages 17 and older. See more Cork B @RT87142816 Feb 22 it's bad. The acting is fine, it is De Niro, but geez really? He plays a mobster? What a stretch. There are some fun to watch scenes, but these people are so self serving and reprehensible it is hard to find anyone to root for. That and the ending was so dumb, relying on so many stupid coincidences, etc etc. And NO IDEA why this was set in France, no one spoke any actual French, not did that seem to impede anyone.

Michelle Pfeiffer is effortlessly compelling, delivering a sharp, confident performance that balances suburban normalcy with quiet menace. She’s consistently strong in most roles, but here she feels especially comfortable, grounding the film emotionally. Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones elevate the material considerably, bringing credibility, humor, and gravitas to a modern-day mafia story that avoids feeling dated. Their presence alone adds weight to what could have been a throwaway concept. John D’Leo and Dianna Agron are standouts, offering memorable performances that deserved more attention. While the screenplay isn’t flawless, the direction is confident and the tone remains entertaining. It succeeds by leaning into its cast and playful tone rather than aiming See more Water T @Splicer Aug 20 The only people that like this are dumb Americans with their penchant for senseless violence.

Smh See more Peter D @RT85430319 04/06/2025 A little trite but good acting and kept me engaged if not very entertained.
