Absolutely the worst movie.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a story of aimless drifters (SHAWN HATOSY and SCOTT CAAN), bar buddies with no particular marketable skills who spend their time boozing it up, fighting, with at least one of them (Scott Caan) dreaming of big bucks in an easy heist. The heist ends the film on a downer when things go horribly wrong.It's really aimless stuff, rough around the edges with endless street tough talk and nothing about the script that hasn't been done before in better "heist" stories.JEFF GOLDBLAUM has the thankless role of a doctor SHAWN HATOSY confides in, a man who happens to be his mother's lover. He doesn't seem to have much on his mind either, smoking pot and dispensing whatever common sense he's capable of offering without much conviction.VAL LAUREN does a good, over-the-top job as a man on drugs who is hyper-sensitive as well as hyper-active, a Jew called "Christian."Summing up: A trifle, easily forgotten and anyone who thinks Scott Caan bears even a slight resemblance to James Caan has got to have his eyes examined. No way whatsoever. The two lookalike father/son screen stars are still Kirk and Michael Douglas.

I loved this film. I wasn't going to post a comment about since I read "learned" people's comments about how it isn't that good. Then one poster commented that Scott Caan wrote, directed, and starred in the film - and then continued to pan it (give a poor comment). That's when I knew I had to comment about how great this film is - how powerful - how it grabs you into the life of its characters and how you hang on every unforeseen event. (I jumped at one point.)The people panning this film are all too edu-ma-cated. They need to watch this film as a movie - sit back, relax and let it grab you by the throat and drag you away. In my opinion they are all falling along "party lines." I know of Mr. Caan from a few of the movies I have seen him in: Ocean's Eleven (2001) as Turk Malloy, American Outlaws (2001) as Cole Younger, Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) as Tumbler and Ready to Rumble (2000/I) as Sean Dawkins. I thought he was untalented and would go nowhere in his career - they were all small parts except for the wrestle movie and he seemed to fit the role. So I was under-impressed.Then I saw this film, read some comments, found out he wrote, directed, and starred in this film and then realized who he is ... one of Hollywood's best all around talents ever. If the "connected" people in Hollywood don't bury him, then he will rise as a legend. Powerful story from a powerfully gifted young man - yep, it's the whole thing.Caste:Scott Caan ....

Scott Caan's directorial debut gives us a film that surprises because of the talent he shows and the intelligence it projects. Mr. Caan shows a strong resemblance to his father and he surely makes him proud in his first job behind the camera. This young actor, turned director, seems to be on the right path for bigger and better things.Mr. Caan was able to attract an interesting cast that obviously loved this project as their performances clearly demonstrate on the screen. Shawn Hatosy, who plays Rusty, is an intense young actor who doesn't repeat himself in any of the films in which he plays. In fact, his inter action with Mr. Caan's Dallas, pays off in a good way. The two of them make an excellent combination. Others in the cast include a wonderful Jeff Goldblum, as the therapist who is seeing Rusty's mother. Kelly Lynch makes another good appearance. Bob Gunton, Selma Blair, and the rest of the supporting cast do wonders under Mr. Caan's direction.We look forward to a long career for Scott Caan. He deserves it.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie for over six months. From when I first wanted to watch it till I finally did, I had a lot of time to go over it in my head and think of what can happen. But I must say that I never thought that this was going to be as good as it is. Caan did a really "Glad" job on this film.If you head asked me two years ago what I thought of Scott Caan, I would have said that he was in too many films. Because two years ago it seemed to me that every third movie I saw he was in. But he did do a great job.This film had its weak points, which most films do. But I must say that even though I knew how it would end, in the middle of the second act, it still moved me. I feel like crying right now.I know not a review, but one day I will learn how to do one.......Psycho-Phil-4-Ever
