- Quotes
Jake Mellows: And ypu, you cow, you hired people to make it look real... make me look like a prat!
Lela Forin: That wasn't so hard to do?
Jake Mellows: I want my money!
Lela Forin: You gambled most of it away. They kept you in debt so you couldn't walk away.
Jake Mellows: They still owe me half a million!
Lela Forin: They never intended to pay you.
Jake Mellows: Yeah, well, they forget who I am!
Lela Forin: They know exactly who you are, Jake, a washed-up, desparate action man who doesn't know he's past his prime.
Jake Mellows: Me! Past my prime! No actor is ever past his prime. Look, look at Jessica Tandy in "Driving Miss Daisy!"

Michael Keaton plays a New York Banker who travels to the South of France to investigate possible fraud on the Film that his company is financing, and soon finds himself up to his next in dirty cops & Russian gangsters and ends up getting framed for murder....
YAWN!!!!
Been there, done it, got the t-shirt! there is nothing in this film which hasn't been done better before.
Michael Caine is really slumming it here, like he has done many times before..... JAWS IV: THE REVENGE or THE SWARM anyone?.... and makes what could be described as a glorified cameo.
The Original 'Batman' Keaton pretty much disappeared after picking ghastly Movies to appear in, in the mid/late 90's, but really this is below him, Caine is merely cashing the check.
apparently this was filmed in 2001 and not released for nearly 3 years...that tells you just about everything.
as I've said above for a Film that never saw the inside of a Movie Theater it's not terrible, and watchable on TV on a Winter's night, but don't spend any money, it's not even worth the rental.
**1/2 out of *****
