    I really wanted to like it

    The review that said, "If the writing was better, it would have been a hit." That sums it up. Everything else about this was very good - sound, scenery, physical acting. It's all there, but it isn't

    Very mediocre... bad almost

    Story wise this movie has some potential with the hitman for the Jewish Maffia angle... but it's just poorly executed. I love Ron Perlman, but this was a very stiff performance, the rest of the cast was also 'mweh' at best... directing not strong, script not strong. Not saying it's a bad movie, it's okay for a boring sunday evening when you've got nothing else to see.

    not amazing.... but a good watch

    I enjoy Ron Perlmans acting, and everyone else did a pretty solid job as well. Predictable in some parts but I enjoyed it for the most part.

    Are you ever really out???

    Well made character study of an aging hitman for hire

    Something like a Cassavetes' Killing of a Chinese bookie with the hip coolness of a Jean-pierre melville noir.
