This 2008 lackluster story of an American Indian hitman (Mickey Rourke) who gets framed by his own boss is a dud. At least, that's the interesting portion of the plot. Ninety percent of the time is taken up with Rourke pursuing Lane and Jane for very little reason. Okay, there IS a reason (he kills everyone who sees him, for obvious reasons)...but, really, that's so unrealistic. The writers couldn't come up with anything better?
It starts out promising enough, then crawls along till the unsatisfying conclusion. Also stars Diane Lane, Thomas Jane, Rosario Dawson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, to no avail.
This well shot film was released concurrently with Rourke's critically acclaimed The Wrestler, which I found excruciatingly painful to watch. Skip both, Skipper.
