From what I saw, terrible.

I only made it through about 15 minutes of this movie before I had to turn it off. From the opening scene shot in front of an obvious green screen to the funeral of "Fat Tony". The deceased is so obviously breathing I thought for a moment he was going to wake up and jump out of the casket. When I realized he really was supposed to be dead I just shook my head. He can also be seen breathing (pretty deeply) in the scene where they are cutting his stomach open to retrieve the diamond.

These points on top of the bad acting in the first 15 minutes leads me to say don't waste your time on this joke.

You were a lot smarter than I was. I watched the whole thing, hoping it would have something to offer. Not even close. The dialog was hilarious when it was supposed to be serious. The "action" scenes were so fakey it was should have been embarrassing to the actors. They couldn't even do a believable gunshot. You missed the end, but Eric Roberts got shot and died, but the goons with the saber saw got to him in the morgue because they heard he died of asphyxiation so they knew he must have swallowed the diamond. Oh, and the first guy they cut on: How did he go from a casket at the funeral to a gurney where they cut him up? Wasn't he on his way to a cemetery?

I watched 20 minutes and shut it off.Usually I can watch just about anything,but this may truly be the most worthless piece of crap ever.
I doubt the trade in value will be over .50.
Eric Roberts shame on you.
