Besides Walken’s performance, the only other saving grace is the film??€™s excellent soundtrack, buoyed by great classic rock tunes from bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger...

If cleaning the lint filter is the highlight of your lazy Saturday, then the film??€™s final shot will make you break down and weep tender, knowing tears. Otherwise, don’t rush...
