    The Real McCoy has one of the most impossible storylines around. Kim Basinger doing her best while Val Kilmer farts through the bad script.

    Okay it's kind of old but really addicting in a way. I can't keep my eyes off of it. I just have to keep watching the movie.

    Not a bad bank heist flick, though I'm not much of a fan of Basinger so this film seemed kind of dull to me.

A good heist, but otherwise a dull drama
