I sturdily watched this abomination of a film up to 1:15:00 mark and then fast forwarded it to the end because I just couldn't tolerate the pain any longer.
The pain comes from the fact that this movie is terribly slow and lazy while trying to be a decently paced drama about the life of a want-to-be-a-family-guy/criminal who tries to part his ways with his criminal past, his environment and his father who's a sort of kingpin.
The problem with this movie is that there are no likable characters and you just don't care about any of them except for the police officers who are being ridiculed by the gang since they almost always manage to come off clear of any wrongdoings they perform with a huge amount of impudence and contempt. A lot of time is spent showing the events that don't advance the plot or any of the main characters.
