This is a really interesting one. When it originally came out at the cinema, the vibe was pretty mixed. Subsequently it has become a huge hit on DVD. I thought the film was pretty good and can't see where any mixed reviews would have come from. The director Joe Carnahan showed some promise in his previous movie Narc and here takes that forward even more here in all the right areas. The story also written by the director regards a mob snitch played excellently by Jeremy Piven being hunted down at the same time by several hitmen and hitwoman all for a $1m reward. Ben Affleck turns in a half decent performance although his moustache still acts him off the screen. Support from singer Alicia Keys, Ray Liotta, Common, and Andy Garcia compliments everything well. This is a JM RECOMMENDS.
