The Bag Man is a taut crime thriller that follows Jack (John Cusack) a tough guy with chronic bad luck but human touches and legendary crime boss Dragna (Robert De Niro). Dragna has summoned Jack and a host of shady characters to a remote bayou motel for unknown reasons and over the course of a long and violently eventful night Jack's path crosses with the stunningly beautiful Rivka (Rebecca Da Costa). All of their fates intertwine and when Dragna arrives on the scene there are sudden and extreme consequences for everyone involved. (Transmission Films)

A film with great ideas - a bag containing something intriguing, a mafia boss insisting the killer follows rules, and other characters all after that bag. This is simply well-executed, and lately, Cusack has been excelling in such ambivalent, darker roles. Robert De Niro is a bit cliché in this, but he has godly hair. However, as the film progresses, everything falls apart at the seams. The characters stop making sense, they become unnecessary, and the story ends very predictably. Another missed opportunity.
