Armand Degas (Mickey Rourke) a maffia bérgyilkosa. Sosem hibázott, és sosem hagyott szemtanúkat. Egészen mostanáig. Carmen (Diane Lane) és Wayne Colson (Thomas Jane) szemtanúi lesznek egy véres akciójának. A rendőrség tanúvédelmet biztosít számukra, ám hiába kezdenek új életet messze Degas-tól, a bérgyilkos nem nyughat. Kapcsolatai révén kideríti a házaspár hollétét. Miután Colsonék ráébrednek arra, hogy a törvény képviselői ezúttal nem az ő oldalukon állnak, kénytelen maguk szembeszállni a kegyetlen gyilkossal. (AMC Hungary)

A one-off, but very entertaining. The very simple script is handled in an interesting way, the cold realities are excellent, and the main characters are believable. Although it somewhat borrows from various elements of films from the past decade, it still works well, and Mickey Rourke is cool even though he looks like an Indian.

Today, I had to find out why I had only given this film three stars in the past, especially with such a solid cast. Now I know. The film kicked off decently, and the fact that a Scottish/Irish actor was playing a Native American didn't bother me at all. What did bother me was the script, which after a promising start, began to feel somewhat lackluster. There were moments when I found myself slightly bored, and on top of that, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's constant yelling got annoying. I wouldn't have minded the lack of an original plot if it had delivered some good old-fashioned action with a noir atmosphere (as the film's opening promised). However, everything I liked seemed to fizzle out gradually. / Lesson learned: Watch out for the blackbird: he may like to sing, but he's a damn thief. Gardeners will surely agree with me.

Mickey Rourke may be quite the little bastard, but he still has charisma. Joseph Gordon-Levitt works alongside him quite well and their scenes together are good. Unfortunately, Gordon-Levitt quickly becomes annoying, just like the story that tries to be gritty but actually isn't at all. The scene in front of the real estate office is like something out of a film where the director happens to be absent from the set. In the end, you're thinking that you were just waiting for something that could have happened in the first ten minutes. And so the film is pretty much about nothing...
