I think if this had been based on a ture story the events would have seemed a little more intersting. Kevin Spacey plays a mastermind of a criminal, who is shared by his wife and her sister.
The only known Irish person in this film that I recognised was Colin Farrell, who pla... read more -

Critic Reviews
(It) highlights not so much the crime lord's messianic bent, but Spacey's. Full Review
The best thing that can be said of the picture is that it does have a few cute moments. Full Review
