This is one that needs the option for zero in the drop down menu when voting. Top marks to the team who designed the sleeve for the DVD. They are the reason why i watched this because they made it sound exciting with those quotes about "blood drenched streets" and Turturro's "tour de force performance". Am i missing something because this is an absolute travesty. Not only does the so called plot move at an elderly snails pace the characters are unbelievable.
In summary a bickering half brother (American)and sister (French)are brought together under the protection of a female French secret service agent to rendezvous with their father who is the target of an eccentric assassin. The trio journey on a euro trip while trying to shake the pursuing hit-man before they meet the father. The father played by a grizzled Nick Nolte has some intelligence about the upcoming attack on the World Trade Centre but as he seems to be working for himself now rather than American intelligence he is more concerned about the impact on stock options for his family and friends. You have to sit through over one hour of bickering, travelling, eating, drinking, pillow fights, Turturro's rambling poetry musings and eventual incest before Nolte appears. Just in case you dozed off news footage of the twin towers appears on a TV screen at the end.
Don't bother wasting your time with this bore which thinks it has something to say but is as empty as a vacuum.
