An average movie

I have never heard of this flick before but since there was a rather impressive cast I was rather eager to watch it. And, indeed, the cast (Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J) was pretty cool and the actors gave some decent performance. Furthermore, at least, at first, the movie had a nice atmosphere but, unfortunately, the story was rather messy and after a while, I kind of lost interest in the whole thing. Unsurprisingly, after some poor test screenings, the film was released direct-to-DVD . Apparently, this movie was another failed attempt Justin Timberlake’s career as a leading man (as a matter of fact, it was even his first ‘real’ acting part). Eventually, almost 10 years later, it seems that Timberlake has developped as solid career as a supporting actor in some interesting movies like ‘Alpha Dog’, ‘Black Snake Moan’, ‘The Social Network’ or ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ but everytime he gets the lead like for ‘Friends with Benefits’, ‘In Time’ or ‘Runner Runner’, it turns out to be a flop. Anyway, the whole thing turned out to be rather disappointing but it's too bad because it actually had some potential but, eventually, it is not really worth a look.
