I didn't much care for this movie until the lion was introduced, and that's because i usually don't like gangster/mob films. The most interesting character in this was the insane guy who locked the man up in the cage, and the lion itself. Both these characters brought the movie to life, and i wish it had been the center of the whole film, it was like two movies mashed into one, but i was only interested in the latter. I honestly thought the two story lines would intertwine towards the end, and it would make sense but it never did. We don't even get another look at smiley, just a brief mention of him towards the end to wrap up the story quickly. Lackluster. And i felt sorry for the lion. Shouldn't be in a cage like that anyway. The lion deserved a happy ending.
