Fans of the genre might want to consider suing for false advertising.
Marvin is the American Dream in miniature, modestly made manifest.
Then a Valentines Day card arrives.
Nothing unusual about that, given that the holiday is right around the corner.
But Marvin is instantly spooked.
The message inside freaks him out even more: Im back.
The minute he steps inside his frosted-glass office, Marvin is cold-cocked.
When he awakens, he discovers a knife pinning his hand to his desk.
The gent with the 1930s puglists nickname is a gangster who controls the Badger States underworld.
He is also Marvins brother (Daniel Wu).
Except Marvin was in love with her.
The caveat is that she can never, ever come back.

Love may hurt, sure.
But its not nearly as painful as being forced to watch a great actor stuck in a bad movie.
