Sometimes great acting can benefit a movie, sometimes it can't. This movie was the latter. While the actors gave some solid performances, the story was old and predictable.Diane Lane and Thomas Jane play a newly separated husband and wife. Mickey Rourke and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play a newly "married" duo of killers. One day, there paths cross and now Lane and Jane are on the run because Rourke's hitman is so deadly, no one who sees his face ever lives. Gordon-Levitt plays his hot shot new partner who just doesn't shut up. It's a cat and mouse game and I guarantee you already know who wins.
Strong performances all around, mostly by Rourke and Gordon-Levitt (he is fastly becoming one of my favorite actors). But the story is so jaded and loses the viewers interest so fast that I figured out the whole movie within 15 minutes.
