Incredibly awful film. They set up all sorts of back stories for the characters and then proceed to ignore it so we can have an hour of 'tough cops doing what they need to'. the clichéd ruthless but shot shy Eastern European gangsters, the estranged wife and weak boss who plays too much by the rules, they are all there to allow us a few seconds to breathe between screeching cars and running around with guns. But all this is irrelevant to one of the most bizarre plot holes I have ever seen. we are asked to believe that a whole gangster outfit put their lives on the line to chase after a kid who saw them for a few seconds. To find him and kill him they run through various crowded scenes shooting at cops with abandon, including a train where they can not only be clearly seen by dozens of adults but even stop and chat to ticket inspectors. A pointless twist at the end which has no emotional context with the rest of the film is the last straw. It makes it worse that it is clearly not made on the cheap. Really not sure how grown ups can get away with this kind of nonsense.
