Truly Dreadful Film

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I recently watched this film for the third or fourth time and after re-watching it wondered why it had taken me so long to sit down to enjoy it once again.This film is fantastic! It begins with just the right level of confusion/mystery, and once the pieces start falling methodically in to place you can't help but be captivated with how well all of it was put together. The story is good, and the characters - all quirky in their own right - are interesting and appealing.An incredible film that I would highly recommend!

This is an amazing movie!!
Good actors, amazing script, great soundtrack, definitely worth to watch.
The mysterious that involve the characters from the beginning is one of the incredible stuff of this movie
People must watch it without any synopses, it would increase their experience with the movie.

Imitation Tarantino movie!Within a few minutes of watching this flick, it's clear that the cast and crew are impersonating a certain type of Tarantino film.The forced 'chemistry' between Hartnett and Liu is embarrassing to watch. The smart-Alec dialog comes off as high-school kids muttering "I know you are but what am I?" repeatedly and not much of it is funny, clever or even pertinent to what's going on in the movie.The convoluted story tries so hard to trip up the viewer it stumbles over itself in the process. The stupid names are enough to tell you that this is gonna be a stinker... The Rabbi? FFS! You can get away with these cartoon villains in a Batman movie, maybe but here they just look and sound ridiculous.Here's an example of the dialog...Does he owe you 94,000 dollars? I don't know. Does he owe me 94,000 dollars? Do I owe him 94,000 dollars? Yes, you owe him 94,000 dollars? Do I owe you 94,000 dollars? You owe him 94,000 dollars, so you owe me 94,000 dollars. So, I owe you 94,000 dollars? Yes, you owe me 94,000 dollars.This goes on for a while, so you can get up and make a sandwich or something when it starts. In fact, you'll have time to drive out to a Subway and order a sandwich and still make it back in time for your life to re-boot!A bloody awful mess in every way possible.

Reviewed June 2011Someone has watched a lot of Guy Ritchie's movies but couldn't make one in the same league. My rating is purely for entertainment value where the pace is quick and is occasionally funny. But if you take this movie as a whole, well it is full of holes. It is a story of mistaken identity where a guy is thought to be in debt to the two most powerful men in the city and is pushed around to make them some favors and is also closely followed by the police. It tries to exude style out of every frame while killing, getting killed, scared, angry etc etc. The performances were so flat even with the talent available just for the same reason mentioned earlier as Arnold Schwarzenegger could've played every role in the movie and could've pulled it off. The story was complicated to great lengths and the non-linear screenplay adds to the trouble of making it even more. It also has that revelatory end that unfolds in a way the Scooby Doo writers will be very proud of. The story is left for extreme coincidence and perfect execution of a plan that was hatched long long ago. Finally, it is just another case of style over content. Glossy to look at but never stays with you after the credits roll.
