Derivative Wooden Film

Johnny-113

score 4/10

This is like a poor man's Donnie Brasco. It was cliché. It was expected. Things developed too quickly because of a mediocre edit. Cranston is always great, but his performance couldn't save this doomed film. This felt like a cliff notes version of a real film because the screenplay was poor.

All of the actors were very good, but it was a story not worth telling. We've seen this story before, but it was told much better every time. Everything was on the surface. The characters were unidimensional and wooden. Perhaps, the director should see a film like, Sicario and learn from that.

This was all style and no substance.
