Poundland Untouchables - Gangster Land review by CP Customer
This movie strives to be The Untouchables from the opening quote to the Morricone-style score, it fails. The movie jumps from scene to scene with no grace, tension or heart.
Faris is a terrible lead, a character introduced as an Irishman in an Italian family which is never explained. The better actors Jason Patric, Don Harvey and Mark Ralston are either wasted in glorified cameos or killed off too early.
On the plus side, production values are good
