I don't see how the story is insipid or flat. Granted, the events in the movie are ludicrously coincidental and unlikely. And I'll admit that it's a basic movie in the sense that the in-movie karma is predictable and one-dimensional -- those who seek redemption obtain it. But there's so much.. action. How is it flavorless? How is it flat? I feel that's an easy critique to make 20 years after the fact. I can't imagine the splash this movie made in '94. edit: I must add, thank you for the Sicilian scene. That is a treasure of a scene.
