Two things jumped out at me.
A. Quite literally, Eva Mendes's areolas. I've seen nipples pop through a shirt but this is the first time I recall seeing a woman's areaolas push through. I definitely saw why she would have got Handsome Luke's eye.
B. I wasn't sure when the movie was initially set. Then there was a 15 years later leap forward so I thought, Oh, it was in the 80's. Then I realized 15 years ago was 1998 and I just felt old.
Beyond that, the beginning of the film is great and after that it's so-so - One part was a fairly standard cop drama while the other part is contrived and just fell flat to me. It kind of felt like this should have been a miniseries instead of a movie. Then maybe they could have built up the second half of the film to make it work.
