Waste of time and talent! So disappointed. Whenever you have actors like Brad, Ray, and James working together, it should be nothing less than a masterpiece. Give these same actors to Martin Scorsese or Brian DePalma and see how the outcome of the film would drastically change. Anyway, rent it on Redbox for $1 if you really don't believe the majority of the world's population.

Give it a watch if you like Brad Pitt or James Gandolfini, otherwise the 90+ min storyline is going to have you yawning. The character development is so minimal that the second half of the film has very little impact. The back drop of the 2008 financial crisis does create some cool moments of suspense, but unfortunately they are far and few between.

Allright so i love to see megan ellison cause it bodes to artistic purity, and mr pitt is likely the LAST film star in todays tween drivin, reboots age film! The plot was simple splashed with tones of political commentary ie the almost comical use of 'in this economy' re hit men AYRTON SENNA WAS AND IS GOD OF F1.. what a tragedy that was oh so long ago. And today we have Sebastian Vettel.. Well i say no one could ever hold a candle to the late great,humble sportsman that is AYRTON I apologize, J 'Lovits'
