The first chuckle came from the psychic Indian fight, then it steadily sillier from there

This movie was a complete mess.

This is probably the worst movie I've seen Eric Bana in, as mentioned the film is a mess story wise and has little in the way of meaningful dialogue and to add several contrived situations i.e. the meet up at the boxer's parents house who also just happens to have killed somebody and then the side story of the Sheriff's police daughter who also ends up in the house too for the climax - you couldn't write it, hang on somebody did! doh.

I completely agree. I love Eric Bana... but this was a horrible choice for him. The writing is horrible for this film. Story is so contrived.

This was a first rate cast with a first draft script. More exposition than in 'Austin Powers'!

I found the casting good, only a couple of times did I feel not convinced by a character. The film kept me engaged although the final outcome was no surprise. Worth watching as far I as am concerned.

Big time. Great cast but the script and plot was so thin.
