Save a noble supporting effort from Charlie Sheen, this movie was awful! Too bad, as "Get Shorty" another Leonard film, is one of my favorites. Hard to say where this one went wrong, as the cast; Owen Wilson, Sheen and co. is a good and solid one. The humour of the previously mentioned "Shorty" is completely missing. Owen Wilson is in many ways an underated and funny actor, as he has saved many a bomb (I-Spy, Shanghi's) but not this time. I think he still has a promising future though. The movie was more than adequately hyped and promoted, and I have been told the film is very much like is very true to E. Leonards vision. I guess no matter how hard you try, you just can't always succeed!!!
