If you like a movie with a bunch of quirky characters & a decent story of redemption of sorts, give this flick a see.

Some quirky moments, this ensemble interconnected crime-comedy was watchable and the performances from James Spader and Charlize Theron were highlights, but can't say anything really stuck with me. **3.0/5**
