Brian Dennehy and Gabriel Byrne are in this...

...and they don't even get their names on the posters?

Instead, some thing named "Jo Rules" - which, judging by its moronic moniker, is probably a c-rap "musician" - gets a mention?

Okay retard, since we are obviously people living in two different societies and times, I have no idea who Brin Dennehy is and who the hell Gabril Byrne is, however I do know who Ja Rule is. Most of todays youth do.
I guess having his name on the poster attracts more viewers then those two actors with no star power. Face it Ja Rule has more star power than them two and attracts more viewers, mostly the younger generation.

Im sorry, but the "retard"-remark made me lose the respect of your post...
The two mentioned actors are veterans of the stage, somewhat talented and experienced.
I don't know Ja Rule's discography as it is not in my particular tastes, but, judging from his fanbase, I am sure he is a talented musician. However, his acting abilities leaves something to be desired.

I agree with Aegrimonis 100%, although Brian Dennehey's heyday is past him he is still a veteran of some of the best 80's and 90's movies you can get. Gabriel Byrne on the other hand is still riding the wave he started in the mid 90's with 'End of Days', what they have in common though is that they are both actors.

Ja Rule, like the other dozen or so rappers who try to act delivers yet another average performance but gets his name near the top because he will get butts on seats in a theatre. Don't get me wrong, some musicians like Ice Cube have gone on to moderate success and can deliver some great performances but must every rapper have to try their hand at the acting gig?

Peace.

What? so Byrne started his "wave" with end of days? what about the usual suspects? or did that slip your mind, i agree he's flagging these days but come on, end of days was a horrible movie, while usual suspects really made everyone in it a star

I've no need for a sig

ok, here I am replying to this OP 2 yrs on, but Cmon, on the DVD, Drea DeMateo gets front cover billing! Brian Den has been around for yrs as a reliable character actor and so has Gabriel Byrne as an ultimate badguy. Now while these guys arent pop culture icons, still, they should have had their mugs on the DVD cover since they are two of the core cast of characters. But at least guys, that the director didnt just stock AoP13 full with the "new guard" of actors and actresses, ya know, all airbrushed and 25 years old. All of the actors are in their late 30s at least. Not a bad movie, it didnt mean to be up for Best Picture and what not. Not the smartest of movies either, but still fun!

I agree,it IS REALLY disturbing. John Leguizamo and Maria Bello is of course understandable to bill but that it´s not followed by WITH BRIAN DENNEHY AND GABRIEL BYRNE(The films villain) and instead says Drea De Matteo Ja Rule....embarrassing.

Byrne might´ve pissed away his career when it comes to being a leading man back in 2005 but still,The usual suspects,Millers crossing,Millas sense of snow,End of Days,Enemy of the state,Man in the iron mask....if you don´t know who Byrne is,you are allowed to watch film but you don´t know film. Can´t imagine that just cause Rule and Drea are younger,they´re billed...I´m sure it was an arrogant mistake,made by people who couldn´t care less.
