Michaël R. Roskam

A bar owned by the mob is robbed.

A lot of talented people get together and do no one's best work. A number of Lahane's novels have been adapted into critically-acclaimed movies. Clearly, being a good novelist does not make you a good screenwriter. It tries hard to be intelligent and have something to say, but doesn't succeed. The characters are walking cliches, many of them boring. You could do a lot worse, but there's no reason to see this movie. Unless you need to watch Tom Hardy love a puppy.
