The theme of this picture seems to be that true love is blind, even when a man kills people for a living. Tea Leoni and Ben Kingsley do have good chemistry, but she accepts him as her character of Laurel, not only with his problem as an alcoholic, but also as a…is there such a word as a murderholic? Actually, Frank (Kingsley) only kills when directed to by his uncle and it bothers him that he has messed up a few times and not killed someone cleanly. There is a lot of strong language in the film, in addition to violence, and an almost nonchalant attitude toward murder. Kingsley seems to be playing a different type character in this departure from his usual roles as a sympathetic character (Gandhi for example). For the reasons already mentioned, we cannot approve this film for family viewing.
