I rented this movie and it sat on my shelf for about a week until blockbuster sent me a card saying i need to return it or pay for it. So, i watched it. While it took me a while to figure out what was going on i realized that its at most, your basic hit-man film. Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding junior play assassins and make a good living at it. there is a back-story for the two of them but it doesn't really add much to the story. what surprised me the most was how much nudity was in this movie. not just female, which you see a few bare breasts but there is a lot of male nudity. Stephen Dorff shows us his manhood wrapped in a condom but none the less, there it is in plan view. Cuba Gooding shows us his butt on more than one occasion. while this doesn't make the film any better, it does give you something to pass the time with. why Helen choose to do this movie i don't know, the acting is good, by everyone but with a storyline a little weak, there isn't much Helen or Cuba can do. and by the way, is it just me, or has Cuba Gooding made really bad movies since he won the Oscar?
