To be perfectly honest, the whole "bungled heist that rips a family apart" routine has been done before. There is little in this movie that presents something new to the genre (genre???) and the directing is nothing to get all excited about.
What the movie has going for it: the acting. As expected, Seymour-Hoffman and Hawke are exceptional. Surprisingly, Tomei does a good job as well. She is cute as a button even though her character can be described as two dimensional at best.
What sucks about the movie: Nothing "sucks" too much about the movie, really. However, it doesn't have that much going for it either. I don't regret spending $5.50 on it, but if I had paid full price, I would have been disappointed.
If seeing some of the private parts of the actors above gets your rocks off, then be the first in the queue to grab a ticket. Otherwise, you can seriously give this one a pass in lieu of DVD rentals.
