WHAT'S IT ABOUT: You can only sit though that much gangsta talk. When you have expletives flying faster than bullets, you know it's an imbalanced film where one department (dialogues) is making up for the laziness of another (story).
Goan coppies Joe and Leslie (Pathak and Shorey) have a chattis ka aakda with Bosco, a casino owner. Both the kameenas are on the payroll of one Baba Kamte and when they come to collect on his behalf, one of them would rather have Bosco's maal, Sophie (Koechlin).
Wannabe gangster Junior Bhai (Kissen) tries pulling off the perfect heist with the help of two ch***yas and ends up killing them both. Even so, he loses the bag full of money he spilled blood for.
A Mumbai businessman down on his luck heads to Goa to pull off a deal and the highway is where their paths meet.
WHAT'S HOT & WHAT'S NOT: The story had promise. Despite being in the same genre as Sriram Raghvan's vastly superior Johnny Gaddaar, it leaves a lot to be desired. There's such a deep feeling of deja vu that you can't help but feel cheated.

WHAT TO DO: Watch Johnny Gaddaar instead. It was a far more tolerable film as far as all the fuss about a bag filled with money was concerned. If at all you are feeling adventurous, be warned that only the scenes featuring the Shorey-Pathak jodi are fun.
