Bits of interesting-ness and good acting in a muddled plot with bits of bad acting. Mark Wahlberg is as ... Noo Yawk as ever. Catherine Zeta Jones ought to retire.

A rapper named RZA, a couple of professional wrestlers, a semi-professional boxer, Lucy Liu and Russell Crowe. This was never going to be good and why Crowe, who's metamorphosed into a tub of lard, wanted to act in it beats me. The action is interesting in some parts. But on the whole, and even assuming that this is supposed to be some kind of a parody, this is simply a travesty.

Avoid unless you while away most of your nights in self-flagellation.
