Don't betray your friends is the lesson we learn out of this nice film. The film has a surprising plot which gives the viewer a nice shock. I like the acting of the young boys a lot. Even Ira, the neurotic dumb friend, awakes sympathy in the end. Christopher Walken tied to a chair in most part of the movie is an amazing gangster. But the best thing is the lesson that you should always be true to your friends.
