It was directed by James Foley, and I have to say that he did a poor job.
Edward Burns was in the starring role, and was pretty good, thought not amazing. Dustin Hoffman was absolutely rubbish as a crime boss with ADD. Rachel Weisz was aweful as the love interest. Andy Garcia and Paul Giamatti did okay in their supporting roles.
