Dull, predictable, going nowhere fast, with the hero as confused and uncharismatic as Liam Neeson. Skip it.
One last thing! If you have a drinking problem, I strongly advise you against picking this one up as not to get into temptation. They all drink, and they drink constantly and heavily. I'll remember the Self-made Widow for the (funny?) scene in which our hero instructs the cab driver to have a couple of drinks while waiting for him!?!
