Review
This could have been so much better. As the old saying goes it started off crap and then fell away to f*"*.
Good first 20 minutes which showed true promise then Hollywood kicked in!
I'm struggling to find some positives apart from Robert DE Niro's in it. Travolta I though was good unfortunately this seems to be a take the money and run move.
I don't want to give too much away as hopefully you'll avoid it and I'm just writing any old crap to achieve the minimum 10 lines for IMDb.
Best avoided.
