Yep, I watched it on tv even when one of Holland's leading news papers was dishing it but they are very often wrong. I've seen Alan Rickman on stage and in many movies but here he really steals the show. Yeah, the film doesn't really chooses to be either comedy or thriller or just a who dun it but it's great fun to watch.
Kevin Kline (who I never really cared for not even in A Fish Called Wanda) is playing one of his better roles as the reinstated cop although I do admit the whole sideline of the two cop brothers doesn't really add anything and could have been dropped all together which means dumping Susan Sarandon, so what.
But give it a try keep an open mind and it is nice flick. Nope, I didn't give it a 10 (considered it for improving the average) but it is nice to watch.
