Bad guys look like good guys look like bad guys. But not everyone is kind to pets. And tough girls are really soft on the inside and sometimes like bad guys who may happen to be good guys. Or not.

Well, all this in the historic borough of Brooklyn in New York City should make for an exciting story – only, it happens to be only mildly interesting, all things considered.

Naomi Rapace, the girl from the Dragon series trilogy gives a good performance, and James Gandolfini is very much in his element in this last performance of his acting career and life. Although lacking in a tight storyline, there is an element of suspense and a twist toward the end, and the bartender Bob, an actor by the name of Tom Hardy that I am not familiar with, actually does quite a decent job of projecting a certain façade while concealing dark secrets that we don’t learn about until the very end.

Overall, somewhat forgettable, but no major regrets for having gone to the movies on a Wednesday night.
