rarely have i witness such a gratuitous waste of talent . there be almost nothing constructive to be say about this hopeless swamp of a film . what few interesting strand the film seem to promise initially turn out to be little more than red herring . actor of stature robert duvall and robert downey and jr. be deploy in role which go nowhere while a director of occasional genius produce a film which look like it be film through a coffee stain camera lens while a writer ( john grisham ) who have never produce anything of merit and discovers new depth of under motivated incoherence . the film have a cheap and lecherous feel about it but barely at the level of commentary it really part of the aesthetic . normally and i come on to the imdb to write balanced and generally appreciative comment . this egregious disaster of a film just make me want to produce an endless and bilious rant . i would not and but only because i no longer want to occupy my mind with this trash .
