Fast Charlie

FAST CHARLIE has Pierce Brosnan as a fixer for a mob family, and works on the premise that they’re his true family and his closest allies. So, when a turf-war results in everyone in his mob being killed, he takes them out one by one. Therefore, the revenge part of it is less impactful because we don’t really get to know these people. But there IS a key relationship – a love-interest/father daughter thing with a young woman getting dragged into the conflict. It’s a sweet relationship, but, I mean, she’s WAY WAY younger. 45 to his 71. If it wasn’t handsome Pierce Brosnan it would be downright creepy. There’s also a regional, local color aspect to this movie, which means the sense of place is a big priority. Be that as it may, it’s still an old-man, one-man-army and he drives off into the sunset with his new lady-friend.
