A crime caper, whether played for drama or laughs, should never be slow-moving. It doesn't help with Keanu Reeves in the lead. He acts as if he's just woken up from a nap throughout the movie.
James Caan does a nice job and tries to bring some life into the film but is unable since the majority of the movie is talking heads.
Vera Farmiga is wasted here. There's no chemistry whatsoever between her and Keanu.
Again, hard to believe a film like this could get made. You needed some kind of dramatic moment to happen. Maybe a scene where Caan feels he should've stayed in jail. Or maybe somebody stumbling upon the tunnel. Some sense of turmoil. Because without any dramatic tension to be found anywhere, the film dies a quick death.
