How to describe this movie? Lots of set-ups and flash backs, a lot of characters to keep in mind, but a very focused plot. This was a fun and entertaining movie with very good performances from the cast. Frankly, I'm mystified by the negative comments and I'm wondering if they watched all the movie.
Director/writer: Michael C. Martin, did a wonderful job keeping the tension and mystery consistent throughout the story. Just when I thought I knew the next 'event' to happen I was given a twist in the action and the relationship between the two main characters, Jake & Easton becomes a story in itself. Both have a reason to go after a wealthy L.A. resident, Punchy, because of a trick he played on them years earlier that put Easton in jail and made Punchy wealthier. That is the main thread in this story!
How they get back at Punchy is a finely woven story with numerous characters and situations that must be carried out correctly or all will go wrong. Then there's the relationship between Jake & Easton, it hints at being more than just good friends. There's something very emotional going on between them and the viewers are left to decide for themselves what this is because in one scene there is a look of anger and jealously on Jake when Easton is doing something. (i'm not telling)
And then there's Danneel! The girl between Jake & Easton. Just what is she all about? A want to be actress or a girl who happens to see a golden opportunity? Then the Russian mob in the background. To keep all this clear is part of the charm of this movie as it demands your attention and at the end the payoff is worth it.
