Bold and moderately thought-provoking, even if its intended message isn't very clear.

Moved so slow, I was ready to give up halfway through. I'm sure the director was trying to make some point about the government and America or some such thing (what with all the presidential speeches going on in the background) but I was so bored I didn't even try to make the connection. Brad Pitt is good in just about everything he's in, but not even he could save this one.

I loved this movie. Seeing James Gandolfini and Brad Pitt together reminded me of True Romance. I bet there is a story there on how they were cast again. JG was fantastic. My gf said I'm just like him when I'm trying to order a drink. I thought the movie moved just fine. I'm not looking for constant action in every scene.

i was expecting a lot more out of this film than i actually received, I had high hopes with a cast that starred Brad Pitt and Ray Liotta. This movie just never really speeds up and has a good amount of unnecessary scenes that could have been cut out and other scenes that should have been added on to. I left the theater thinking about a couple of things that answers were just never given. The acting and the Directing give such a simple story a good feel to it, but as i said before it had the potential to be great and it just wasn't.

I thought it had the potential to be better than it was. But, it was still pretty good.

Good acting and directing punch up what is essentially a very simple story. There is a great sense of realism in the dialogue and violence. Some scenes end flat, while other go out with a bang. I appreciate the underlying message of the film, but the way it's presented feels too obvious and distracting at times. A decent genre pic.
