What was a pretty good 3/4, the last act was too ridiculous to take seriously. Still as a whole fine performances from both De Niro and Snipes even if neither were in top form, but at least appeared to be trying instead of phoning it in as both have done in the past decade or so. Also a testament, as I could never see the NFL doing this, for the MLB to allow licensing on their teams with a fan, albeit a psychopath (or is it sociopath?), being portrayed that way. **2.75/5**
