There were 2 possibly-good movies in there, but the filmmakers unwisely chose to combine them into a whole that is much less than the sum of its parts. The tragic plight of the nuclear worker and his family should have been in a different movie from the hilarious criminal enterprises of the Russian thugs. And poor Shiv-- bouncing between them-- I didn't know whether to laugh or cry during his scenes. I half-expected the gun at the end to fire a BANG sign. 3 stars for the acting of the nuclear worker, his wife, and the Mutt and Jeff thugs, but minus 7 stars for putting them in the same film. What a disappointment. Shame on HBO.
