however, the script just isn't as smart. Ben Kingsley yet again gives a great performance. He's very believable as Frank, an alcoholic hit-man, sent to San Fransico by the boss to go to rehab. He works in a funeral home and meets Laurel, whom doesn't seem to mind to much that he's in AA. And even when he tell her the truth about his job, as well as his AA group; no one seems to really mind. And this was one part I had a problem with because I think a woman would care that the guy she's dating shoots people for a living. Things go badly for the family back in Buffalo, so Frank must go back and take care of things. But, Laurel won't give him up so easily.
Now to the story: it could have been better. It's a dark comedy, amusing at times like it should be, but it just seems to develop slowly. Needed some more action or for it to have more laughs and not be as serious.
FINAL VERDICT: A good movie for watching Ben Kingsly do his thing, but plot needed to move swifter.
