the acting be fine . the cast be great . the script be lame and lame and lame . and do say it be lame . if the writer could exploit any ethnic stereotype in shameless fashion and they do . this story about culture clash and crime could have be tell intelligently without resort to over the top and sniggering and hollywood style bigotry . how could anybody take seriously a crime drama where two of the young mafia type last name be isabella and rosselini . the only thing worthwhile to me be look at all the chicago exterior and spot the error in geography . it be kind of fun to see a young ben stiller a a baby mafioso . i be relieve that this movie do not wreck adam baldwin or liam neeson career .
