Title: Another Coen Bros. Knockoff
Review: This time the Coens decide to knockoff Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key. They do bring a lot of style to the project, but forget anything about substance. The film is a tiresome bore, overproduced and over-acted. Flashy and convinced of it's own significance, the film suffers from a severe case of obviousness. Once you see (and you'll see it pretty quick) that each character is going to double cross every other character, the film has nowhere to go, and it goes there in a hurry.
