    wow just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a pretty good movie 2 watch..i think that kevin spacey is brilliant in this movie (aside from the fact that he does a crap irish accent in this movie) its still reallly worth watching because its got a really good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that the director of this Drama, Mystery & Suspense movie had done a really good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie n its really enjoyable as well

    Not ordinary, but a decent movie. Well above average but there were still some things that could have been better. I'm glad I watched it though, it was definitely worth it.

    In this film Kevin Spacey is Michael Lynch, supposedly an 'ordinary, decent criminal'. He lives a good life with his two wives and children, making an income by robbing banks and stealing other expensive items. Behind him all the time wanting to convict Lynch is Noel Quigley, soon he becomes obsessed with bringing him down and putting him away for good. But Lynch is clever and can easily survive stuff like that, Quigley only needs evidence.

    Kevin Spacey was pretty damn good for his role. I guess some of the cast was the downside, as the story was entertaining enough. But Spacey's performance was dynamite, only a few gaps here and there that could have used something else. Colin Farrell's part was small, I would have liked him to be more of a main character. And heck, I liked Vincent Regan even for his part. Nice cast, but sometimes it just didn't work with them together.

    It's a clever movie that is easily entertaining and enjoyable. The ending is great, satisfying yet still left open. The accents started to get to me after a while, but hey, I survived watching the whole thing.

    "Michael just loves taking the law into his own hands!" kevin spacey disini terlihat santai, tidak seserius peran seperti di american beauty maupun se7en. mungkin setipe dengan ocean trilogy cuma lebih ringan. tapi kalau boleh memilih gw lebih mimilih film ini daripada ocean trilogy, yang jelas lebih ringan, fresh, menghibur, tapi tetap menarik dan kebanyakan film kevin spacey endingnya selalu bikin kita "nyengir" sambil bergumam...cerdik juga

    Watch Kevin Spacey butcher an Irish accent! It sounds more British/Scottish/American/Australian, and in a few scenes, German.
