what a waste . john travolta and scarlett johansen deserve good than this . to start at the beginning and jt be horribly miscast in the lead here . the role call for someone who could convince a a broken down anti hero and someone who could look haunt and defeat . billy bob thornton would have fit the bill and or even al pacino and but jt be just too alive and and look to be have too much fun . also and surely someone who have be through the mill to the extent jt character have would have suffer some physical effect . the character present to the audience look a if he could start a tight end for the oakland raider . scarlett fair little good role wise . where be the pain and conflict of what should surely have be trouble development . and a for the plot . well and none of it make sense . the character leap from one frame of mind to another seemingly without cause and certainly without explanation . the pace of the film also leave something to be desire and namely and pace . this be a very slow film and not that i have anything against slow film and as long a they be head somewhere . the pace only pick up towards the very end and when it shift from a slow dirge to a frantic race to pack in as many tired clichés a possible . in this it succeed the only thing miss be something involve a small dog . negative for this one purely for gabriel macht performance he be the only member of the cast who be a ) well cast and b ) able to convince in his role . all in all and a terrible disappointment and a real waste of a couple of hour .
