A good idea, and Levinson's idea of moving forward and backward in time is interesting, but the whole movie is a whole bunch of nothing.
Most of the scenes doesn't carry itself forward or have any relevance to the story. They could have probably edited the movie down to 80 minutes without loosing anything.
The attraction scenes seems forced and predictable, one would have seen it coming from a mile away. Bruce Willis' acting doesn't do anything for me. Where is the part of him that needed anger management? The only good acting was from Billy Bob Thorton, who plays a neurotic hypochondriac in constant search for a new disease that he might have got. As far as roles, the dimwit cousin who constantly wanders off for some girl, I mean, they are in the middle of a heist, anyone that dimwitted would have been killed long ago in a traffic accident or something.
The ending was the only thing that was any good, and even that was a far stretch, considering how the dimwit cousin could pull off such a series of stunts, their casually sliding the money away and everybody believing the body just burned into dust.
