An average movie

As you may have noticed, I’m a very obsessive movie watcher and one of my very first obsessions was/is Robert De Niro. I just love this actor and I have been watching many of this movies during the last 20 years (I have seen 72 of them so far). However, since the beginning of 2000's, he has made a lot of movies but most of them were of a very dubious quality so I’m not as fanatic as I used to be about his work but I still watch some of them from time to time. The funny thing with this movie is, that, if you would compare it to what De Niro made in the past, it was actually rather weak but, if you would compare it to to the recent garbage starring Robert De Niro,  it was actually not bad at all. It was especially pretty neat to see a young James Franco who was personally chosen by De Niro. Apparently, Michael Caton-Jones was actually so unhappy with the final result though that he even said that working on this film was the worst period of his career (I wonder if he made this statement before or after working on ‘Basic Instinct 2’). Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was still a decent watch and I think it is actually worth a look, especially if you are interested in De Niro’s work.
