Have you ever gone to the Indian reservations to get a big stinking box of fireworks, picked out the ultra loaded box that is filled with some high powered pyrotechnics, raced home, lit them, and been totally let down? Did you enjoy that?
If you did, see this movie. Everything about it just seems like it will just totally rock but it doesn't. The script, the acting, the directing, the music, and the cinemtograhy are great, but there is just something missing. It is like great smelling cookies that get you all excited until you bite into them and find they were made without sugar.
Harvey Keitel is a loser gambling dad with 5 boys; 3 of whom are going to die soon because of a medical test he enrolled them in earlier. The experimental drug they took (so Keitel could get paid) turns out to be a lethal littel ditty. Knowing they have little time left on the mortal coil, they start doing crazy and extreme things. Sounds great? IT DOES!!!! But so what, you will be let down.
