This heist flick about young Brooklyn hoods is off the shelf after two years to capitalize on the popularity of Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Barry Pepper. It should have stayed there.

Perhaps if co-directors David Levien and Brian Koppelman had spent more time devising a coherent vision for the film, we would not have felt as knocked around after watching it.

We know the plot's a little crazy, but it held my interest from start to finish.

Will only satisfy those who can't tell the difference between the good, the bad and the ugly.

A guilty pleasure.
