Reel Talk:
This was a criminal suspense thriller that got turned into a love story, that maybe could have worked but didn't. Mainly too many unbelievable loops that make this movie hard to swallow. With the incorporation of the love story, it kinda drags the movie along giving way to some lackluster action. There wasn't even much that Colin Farrell or Terrence Howard could do to salvage this film. This one you can wait to catch on DVD or even cable.
