Mary and Ben are the star-crossed black sheep of two powerful families engaged in a centuries-long feud. When the pair reignite a romance after many years apart, their forbidden love draws a motley assortment of schemers and killers into their orbit, and as fists and bullets fly, it becomes clear that violent delights will have violent ends.
A movie that could've been balls-to-wall insane that instead was pretty blasé. It's another Romeo and Juliet type story but here really had no connection with either lead though Alexandra Daddario was nice to look at. Justin Chatwin as a company fixer (and killer) was hard to take serious (kind of as whiny as Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels) and Billy Crudup's narration was off-putting. Really a misfire from beginning to end. **1.75/5**
