Nasty, unnecessary violence and Pesci's too believable performance as a cunt undermine tale of whorehouse madame's fling with younger Argentinian boxer. Mirren is fab (accent too this time) and Sergio Peris-Mencheta winning as the doomed boxer - in fact you know it isn't going to end happily (in the end it defies expectation).
It's all a bit seedy. Gina Gershon makes impression as feisty prostitute; Bryan Cranston is in it for a full 60 seconds, The Wire's Wendell Pierce for a little longer.

The real Mustang Ranch apparently featured in Charley Varrick.
