The Butcher (2007)

Eric Roberts is a heavy for an LA crime boss, but has become bored and disenchanted with his lifestyle choice. Eric, who “has a degree in the science of violence”, decides to make a break from his dysfunctional family with bloody results. This attempt to make another “realistic” gangster film is slow, derivative, with even the shooting and its graphic results providing little enjoyment. I like Eric Roberts, but his smile and haggard looks aren’t enough to make this 100 minute movie worth the effort.
