What a waste of a great cast

You've got 3 oscar winners and 4 nominated actors all in one film...is this is what they come up with?. Frankly if the film had a more serious tone and abetter director, it could have been a great and served the whole cast well. Instead we get this lame comedy which lets everyone down.

In all honesty, why the filmmakers didn't just hire a second rate comedy cast is beyond me. Why they felt they had to get all the bigwigs for this leaves me baffled

Personnel??....thats for a**holes

Movie was waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the time and has a lot of energy. The script, for the early 90s, touches on lots of topics that weren't as widely known then.

LMAO speak for yourself, this movie is excellent and the cast makes it such. Kind of funny you think this is a comedy.

It's more of an action / crime drama that does have some funny parts but it's no comedy. The funny parts make me think of all the action movies that try to mix in some funny parts. But it doesn't really matter does it? You hate the movie anyway so if you think it's a comedy and I don't it doesn't change the fact that you don't like it.

Leoneswest died, never having seen a "good movie" by his standards. May the devil have mercy on his soul!
