jamie_cannavaro The only thing missing is the right music, besides from that, Tarantino could've easily coproduced it.

Leofwine_draca CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES is a slick little crime thriller with a decent cast and a lacklustre script. There's no faulting the performances or the work of actor Jackie Earle Haley in his directorial debut, but the problem with this one is the lack of likable characters and the clichéd nature of the plot. A group of four twentysomething buddies lose their investment and get into hot water when it transpires that one of them borrowed money from mafia man John Travolta (at his oiliest). There are edgy performances from established performers like Dan Stevens (check out that hair!) and Michael Pitt, but the script mistakes profanity for originality and as such the narrative remains resolutely average.

Larry Silverstein This film contains some dark humor and a surprise twist ending, but in my opinion it's barely a grade B-movie. We've seen many similar type movies over the years, so, to me, this one came across as rather a "poor cousin" in comparison to some of the others that are named by several reviewers on this site.This is one of those films that if I revealed too much about the plot details I would be writing too many spoilers, so let's just say all is not what it seems on screen. However, when the reasons for what's occurring are revealed it just seemed quite flimsy to me.This movie marks the directorial debut of acclaimed actor Jackie Earle Haley, who also is excellent in a supporting role here. Robert Lowell also makes his screen debut as the scriptwriter. All in all, the film is not going to win any awards, but I was interested enough to want to know how it would all turn out, even though some of the journey was a bit painful. In the end, it all just seemed more of a gimmick than anything else.

vcgraves Anyone involved with this movie should just be ashamed of themselves. Why?The script, if there was one, was just a bunch of guys yelling f-words at each other. Worthless, f, f, f, this, and f, f, f, that.Cinematography? Shaky cam shot by a 12-year-old. Not one interesting visual. Plot? Forget it. Interest? None. Acting? Beyond lame. This is a product with a major star (Travolta) vying for your consumer dollar. The problem is, it's utter garbage. Do not waste a minute of your life on this sad rip-off.
