   (imdb rating: 6.6/10)


Plot: When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel (Piven) decides to turn state's evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he's no longer breathing.

Carnahan also directed. The movie is all over the place with a massive cast (even Jack/Matthew Fox has a short 3 min role), sounds like it was fun to shoot.. now how was it to watch? A whole other story

I think it was trying hard to be The Usual Suspects but it's a complete mess. Common and A. Keys do shine and have a possible future in acting

Final scene.. so dramatic.. didn't work too much for me hehe
