Its even harder to follow because of continuous back and forth jumps in the timeline.
Not bad at all, no way, but too long and ... sorry ... boring.

" TV (RECORDED TO DVR) / REWATCH Date watched: 8th March, 2013 Project: None Why?: Robert De Niro as director. Various actors. Director: Robert De Niro Thoughts: I know I've watched this before but again I can't really remember. It is either not very good, or I wasn't paying attention. Watch again?: No. It didn't grab my interest. Probably why I forgot watching it before. "
