The only reason I could even give this film above a 1 is that Al Pacino's performance prevented me from leaving the room until it was over. I did have to pause it a number of times simply because I was bored and other things caught my attention, however.
How a movie which was put together so poorly received a 6.7 is beyond me. It doesn't know where it wants to go, is it a thriller, a cop movie, or a love story? I still haven't figured that one out.
The ending felt like a forced twist. It was also too quick. I felt a "Now you see it, now you don't" type of impression during the last few minutes.
Pacino and Barkin have no chemistry, and the fact they don't even bother to give us Helen's last name should tell you all you need to know about character development.
I'm sure glad I rented this one for free. But even then, I felt cheated as I wasted my time.
