Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Bringing the drunken losers instead of the police was a neat touch.
Con: People's keeps talking and talking and talking to Mann, long past the point he should have just shot him. Keeps explaining his plans--like the villain in a B movie. It's impossible to believe.
