I really enjoyed this movie, despite the polarising reviews here I actually found it quite entertaining. Pierce Brosnan as an ageing "fixer" for some mob pulls it off and I found the repartee between him and the excellent Morena amusing despite an "ick" factor due to the age difference. I just can't get past that - thankfully there was no physical stuff to reinforce this factor.
That aside, it was easy watching. There wasn't anything to strain your concentration and worry about plot twists and contra twists and so on, so popular nowadays.
It's not meant to be an action movie either, so leave those expectations at the door. Nevertheless there are a number of creative deaths and James Caan in his last role adds a level of poignancy. Sharon Gless was a hoot too, I would have loved to have seen more of her!
