It's 2013 now, and cinema industry isn't in good form, as i see it. (for many reasons). Studios don't want to spend their money for experiments, they want profit. And that's why, in this particular case, we have standard script, good actors, kinda good techniques of shooting and etc. So can these 113 minutes be interesting? My answer is yes, indeed. You will enjoy movie if you like gangster movies at all - those car chases, gunplays, wordsplays, simple plans, bad guys, good guys. If you like to watch famous actors - you will see pretty good ensemble cast here. Actually, this film is full of clichés, but it's very hard to do something brand new on this old territory. I don't want to defend it's predictability, but this movie provides exactly what trailers promised and a little more (i mean some little details - references to other movies, good shots, few jokes). Maybe it could be great with other script and tone of the story, but we have what we have, and if you'll miss this one, you'll probably lose not that much, but something. Oh, and last thing, almost missed it: it's 7 because i like actors and didn't expect anything good when i came to cinema.
