Cox has managed to recruit great actors only to elicit bafflingly melodramatic and stilted work. Emma Roberts, as an aspiring artist and the only female character with more than a couple speaking lines, is particularly wasted.

It should... be avoided like a contagious rash.

Cox finds himself doing a poor imitation of Martin Scorsese, channeling the manic hedonism of both "Goodfellas" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," minus the seductive magnetism of either film's central performance.

While this version may actually be closer to the real-life incidents that took place, it is still a bit of a draggy affair.

This is bargain basement stuff that deserves to be treated as such.

Why a director would try so hard to clean up the image of an inhuman convicted felon beggars belief.

Interesting story, but I feel like it wasn't fully told. Great buildup and I really got a feel for the characters, but the last third was too rushed.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

It was a pretty good movie, not sure why it has so much hate. There are some stupid lines like where they mentioned facebook and google (which wasn’t around in the 80’s obviously lol) and it’s loosely based on the true story, but who cares honestly it was entertaining so thats all that mattered to me.

Plot that never coalesces turns into a movie that won't end. Guaranteed 100% skippable.
