Default Spin City...quick question

Ok...got half way through this crap and gave up.

Just curious.....as far as i could be bothered to work out there was a 2 min story with Josh Harnett, a 6 min story with Bruce, a 20 min story with Mickey Rourke then i gave up during the killer hooker stuff - did any of it tie up or was the point that it was a seriers of "short stories"????

so, for example, the "bruce" crime story is an old cop has a heart attack and dies?

Hardly Goodfellas!

You pick up that part of the story again later on with Jessica Alba playing the little girl he rescued when she is older.

I enjoyed it.

AOP13 was OK....
House of Wax, decent film actually but the acting leaves alot to be desired.
Sahara, not had time to watch but dont hold too much hope for

Coach Carter was a really good film. good acting, OK not very original plot line but still a good film.

Sahara is excellent. Loosely (and I mean loosely) based on Clive Cussler's book - real big screen no brainer fun!

I saw "Hollywood Homicide" (2003) recently and wish I hadn't bothered - one of Harrison Ford's worst efforts - avoid!

- link to original post - Josh Harnett was in it too.
