Sunk by the weight of its scale and lackadasicalness, which ironically is it’s only real charm. Because the action sequences go on and on, it makes the weariness of the humor between Hartnett and Ford somehow more amusing. Luckily, the movie forgets about the dull plot for long stretches, but the sitcomy material of having Ford trying to pitch his real estate to each potential witness or suspect and Hartnett working in his goals of becoming an actor is stretched very thin and ultimately the movie isn’t even good enough to be considered forgettable.
