Yes, the bad movie hype is real for 'the last days of American crime'. It has a potential premise which is thrown down the drain. I found the first half watchable, but it spiralled downwards from there.
Over the top performances, non-sensical scenes, tasteless romance, cheesy acting were aplenty. Edgar Ramirez gives a no-emoticon zombie like performance as usual. As the movie progresses, you would realise you didn't care for anything going on in there. With a runtime of 138 minutes excluding the credits, it's in fact an uphill task to watch this.
