Robert DeNiro, one of the ageless wonders of Hollywood. He sticks around, does a action-drama movie and keeps himself know. He isn't like Kirk Cameron who disappeared for years only to reappear more religious and less of an actor.
James Franco, aka Green Goblin, is a junkie who gets involved in a tragic deal gone wrong. Trying to hide from the cops, his father Robert DeNiro reintroduces himself to Franco. After several scenes that might seem typical in a cop drama, Franco and DeNiro play a dangerous game that risks their lives.
There was more drama than action. Eliza Dushku, whom Franco has a kid with, tries to help a little. She disappears, which seems somewhat typical of a action drama.
Of everything, the ending atypical of Hollywood. Yes, it was still happy but it wasn't the happiest of endings. Plus DeNiro and Franco do a good job in the movie. I am just not sure everybody else did.
Overall, its a moderately good film. "B-"
