    If the two rednecks (Affleck& Caan) from the Ocean's 11 trilogy decided to devise their own heist.

    This is my third re-watch of this movie, and it still manages gets me to laugh literally out loud. I also don't believe they meant for this film is meant to be as funny as it is. If dry comedy is your thing, like it is mine. Then this underrated gem of a movie is for you.

    Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Trilogy) is obviously…

    Mind F**ked. For Jake's basically second lead role ever, he impressed me so much. I am forever a jake fan. If he cries, I cry. Ending to this movie will keep you thinking about it for days and you will likely never fully understand it. Also, some small, odd casting choices that were completely unnecessary, but I still appreciated so much. My advice would be to watch the director's cut. His little extra plot additions help.

    Always have to watch an unheard of Al Pacino film as I come across them. Usurpingly an impressive film from a writer who rarely disappoints (Crazy, Stupid, Love). Premise has been done before but if you're as big of an Al Pacino fan as I am you'll watch anyways. Cast in its entirety was used appropriately and gave you just what you needed while on screen. Hits on issues of cancer, drug addiction, abandonment and imposter syndrome throughout which make it relatable to many audiences. Overall fulfilling ending.
