Defiantly has it's moments, but somebody has mob movies on the brain. Cannavale is overbearing and does not invite much sympathy, despite epic self pity. The cast in general is professional but plastic, with the notable exception of Jamie Vine, and some spectacular support from Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, and a host of excellent bit players who put the main cast to shame.
Great sets and strong camera work abound. The clichéd music is interrupted by some very nice renditions here and there, like the twist flashback.
The whole thing sticks of epic egos and rolled eyes, but it's quite a train wreck and certainly well worth a look. :)
