This is a story of family, crime, and the things people do for blood. It stars a whole lot of people: Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, James Caan, Lilly Taylor, and many more. This sprawling story begins when Clive gets out of prison and is met by his brother and sister (Crudup and Taylor). They go home to see Pop (Caan) and accidentally open some old wounds.
Clive tries to go straight but finds it impossible (otherwise no story here) so he drifts back into his criminal ways showing a willingness to do maximum violence. Crudup is a cop and suspects Clive all along and the title reflects what he will do (inadvertently)to protect him.
Cotillard is Clive's ex and she plays most of it without make up. I almost gasped-she is Cameron Diaz ugly. The things to those make up people can do. Mila Kunis fares far better.
Despite the sprawling cast all the characters are well drawn and both Owens and Crudup do fine jobs. Caan is pretty super also. You get the real sense of familial struggle as the movie comes to its predictable end.
I'll give it 2.5 outta .

Big budget differences, one is based on a true story and really gritty while the other is much cleaner and prettier.

it's hard to pin down ahead of time what she'll like and what she won't. If Rover is even close to, say, ...Beyond Thunderdome, yea, she'll hate it.

The bonus feature explains this is an EU movie shot in America and to secure financing 50% of the cast had to hold an EU passport but live and speak "New York". It was directed by Guillaume Canet and largely a French project.
