    Very entertaining 90 minutes
    Pierce Brosnan stars as a hitman in Mississippi who has a problem - he has let his dim bulb protege take care of eliminating one of his targets. I don't want to say more without spoiling something. The movie is fun, action-filled thriller with a few doses of black comedy. James Caan (in one of his last roles) stars as Brosnan's boss and Morena Baccarin stars as someone who helps Brosnan fix up what his protege has wrecked. Also stars Gbenga Akinnagbe as a rival boss who is particularly vicious and psychopathic. Directed by Phillip Noyce, the movie comes in at a breezy 90 minutes and makes no pretense of being an Oscar winner - it is an entertaining film and that's quite enough for me. 7/10.

    B movie with retired actors
    Baccarin is not even trying and seems to be out to lunch while Brosnan is an Irish actor who can't act his way out of a wet Cajun paper bag to save his life. Truthfully, I couldn't finish this because it was so nonsensical and I never thought I would be word counted for a movie review. I guess this isn't even half way to being valid somehow? OK, I confess to being a HUGE Baccarin fan since Dead Pool but was shocked when I first saw her in this movie. I think this was a self produced joint by several actors trying to stay relevant in their later careers. Caan, Brosnan, and even Baccarin are sad caricatures of relevancy.
