Phillip Noyce directs Pierce Brosnan, James Caan and Morena Baccarin in this crime caper where an ageing mob fixer needs to navigate a hostile takeover in Orlando.

Very Elmore Leonard light, could also be a sparklier post Taken era Liam Neeson vehicle. Brosnan still has spades of movie star twinkle in the bank and the movie thrives from his relaxed, handsome presence. It is daft and intense and cool in a perfunctory way. Filled a movie night for me and my Dad perfectly. Only the sight of a near death Caan forcing one out for the impending inheritance tax fees adds a strange pall to this.
