Director D.J. Caruso (``The Salton Sea,'' ``Taking Lives'') appears unaware that his characters run the gamut from the merely unsympathetic to the absolutely loathesome.
Of course, there is a way to make such characters compelling. But screenwriter Dan Gilroy, who obviously admires Oliver Stone and David Mamet and is married to Russo, this film's executive producer, does not know it.
But I have never seen such a blusteringly vacuous performance from Pacino. His Walter is Rumpelstiltskin on crystal meth.
