Movie Haiku:Affleck casts himself as a bruised guy from the hood: Mom''s dead & Dad (Chris Cooper)is in the slammer. So what if he robs banks, "Doug" still has a heart of gold. Jan says: Feh! The support team may be played by great actors, but they''''re all just 2 dimensional props from central casting. Rich says: OK, but the chases & heists are lots of fun. D''uh!
