Details Movie Rated: R; Genres: Comedy, Drama; With: Michael Madsen

Brimming with tough guys (Penn, Madsen, Tom Sizemore), this Rust Belt snoozer drowns in its own palooka-speak. ''It took me a long time to find out the tail I was chasing wasn't really attached to a dog,'' says Sizemore's moody drifter. ''It wasn't really attached to anything.'' That nugget could describe the ''story,'' which consists mainly of protracted brooding over jobs lost to ''subcontinent countries.'' Blah. D+
