An average movie

Elmore Leonard is behind some pretty cool stories ('Jackie Brown', 'Get shorty',...) so I thought I should check this one out. Plus, there is a very nice cast (Owen Wilson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Sinise, Charlie Sheen, Vinnie Jones, Harry Dean Stanton). Unfortunately, the end result was rather disappointing. I mean, Owen Wilson was born to play this kind of part and the rest of the cast was pretty good as well but the story was not really original, not really funny and above all, not really entertaining. You can feel there was some potential here but the plot was just too weak. The fact that it is a remake of an already weak movie doesn't help much either, I guess. To conclude, it is not really bad but I have seen much better heist movies and this one is not really worth a look.
