Based on a true story, this gangster film seems surreal from the childhood home movies at the beginning and never really gets off the ground.
Justin Timberlake is the predictable villian with a heart. Spending most of the time with his shirt off and a worried expression on his face, he alone makes the film drag to its inevitable conclusion.
Plot- a hapless teen is kidnapped for revenge. But becomes a buddy to party with at a variety of locations. Whenever they move somewhere new, there are witnesses to the ‘crime’. Witnesses total about 40ish by the conclusion.
Sharon Stone wears a laughable fat suit at the end and Bruce Willis could have chosen a better vehicle.
Its light white gangsta that doesn’t require much thinking.
