You might not have seen this because it was a Blockbuster Exclusive. I can only guess that means that Blockbuster had something to do with the production of the film.
There are tons of stars here. Mostly old school. You might say this is a film about old men, or old gangsters, who are hanging on too long.
Kingsley is an assassin who must go into AA because alcohol is affecting his "day job". He is transplanted, sort of in witness protection. But this is sponsored by the mob.
He meets Tea Leoni in a most improbable way. And she becomes his motivation to get "clean". Of course he has a hard time getting clean. That's at least realistic.
There is some satisfaction in this film. And there is enough talent to maintain attention. But the genre, as well as Tea and the rest of the cast, show age.
