Depp, Cruz and Molla perform the characters they know so well so you won't be disappointed but the story is predictable and quite flat.
Andre GonzalesExternal review ·
Why get a respectable job when you can make millions. True for so many who just never seem to learn. Making millions means nothing to losing your family over it.
