Meant as black comedy about aging wiseguys, this disappointing and often depressing film simply serves to remind viewers that the elderly are outliving their financial resources. It does contain a few yaks, but the screenplay fails to ignite. And the characters are not very likable. After all, these guys made their living outside the law and beat up anybody who objected. “Bats” got his nickname because he used to use a bat to beat his victims. In his cantankerous years he bullies anyone that gets on his nerves. How are we supposed to like a guy like that?
