NAJIB & ROSMAH’S U.S. VISIT PUTS THE HEAT ON DE NIRO, LEO DICAPRIO & MIRANDA KERR: IN BID TO DISTANCE FROM STOLEN 1MDB FUNDS, LEO & MIRANDA RETURN ASSETS WHILE DE NIRO TELLS OUTRIGHT LIE HE NEVER STARRED IN RIZA’S ‘THE BAG MAN’ FILM

De Niro also confirms to THR he knew(Najib ) Razak and (Rosmah) Mansor, having met them “a couple of times,” adding that there had been early talks for him to star in one of Aziz’s films at Red Granite. “But it never happened.”
This is strange, given his starring role in Red Granite and Riza’s The Bag Man. As reported on this writer’s related blog , the movie had a surprisingly low profile in the US,even in promotions, despite starring De Niro and John Cusack.
It begins with Dragna, De Niro’s well-heeled mob type, cutting a bloody steak in a private jet while he proceeds to make Jack (Cusack) an offer he can’t refuse: Pick up a bag, don’t look inside, wait for Dragna to pick it up, get paid lots of bucks. Death, and dispensing it, seems to be the central theme of the film. It gives Cusack the chance to play a bad guy who is really good under all that short-tempered, punch-a-girl-if-I-have-to, kill-a-guy-if-I-must gruffness. Cusack makes Jack ever so slightly interesting.
(Rebecca) Da Costa plays Rivka, a long-tall Sally who is turning tricks until she figures out what she really wants to do with her life. At the moment she’d rather not die, and she’s interested in the idea of being Jack’s partner in crime.
Rosmah is expected to accompany Najib Razak when he visits the White House to meet with President Donald Trump on September 2012.

Riza Aziz’s “The Bag Man”: Aptly named 2014 movie starring Robert De Niro,did better in the UAE than in the US 
by Ganesh Sahathevan
The Bag Man is a Red Granite Movies production which is surprisingly excluded from its list of movies. This is surprising, given that the movie starred Robert De Niro and John Cusack.
Then again, it was a box office flop.Nevertheless, it did reasonably well in the UAE.
