User Reviews

Ludicrously under rated

This film was fantastic. the characters were two dimensional and there was no depth to the film whatsoever but other than that it was pretty much perfect.

The stunts were great, the plot was quite well done, the characters well realized - I can't really think of anything wrong with it.

the best thing (and the thing which has annoyed some people on here) is that this film treats people like adults, not the dribbling morons that most Hollywood films treat us like. When they are about to pull off a hiest THEY DON'T TELL US HOW TO DO IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS. It's so nice to see something like that.

I loved it, the five other people I've shown it to loved it. It's worth your attention.
