Voice of The Reaper:
The ocean, huh? Never fails to provoke a person to musing on philosophical shit. Heavy shit, like life and death, and fate, and all that bewildering shit. The fuckin' universe. The individual's seeming insignificant in it. But are we insignificant? I mean take, for example, this individual. Wears the name of Michael McCrea. Last night he imbibed to beat the band. And today he's paying the seedy price. It's evening. He's having himself a little siesta, yeah? Little catnap. Now relax...

"I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You"
Written by Reginald Youngblood, Owen Holmes, Kevin Snow, Dawn Watley, and Ali Youngblood
Performed by Black Kids See more »
An aptly-described "urban western" that fans Crank and Lock Stock should not miss.
In addition to fully working as a perilous crime thriller, the film's script is filled with comedy, and the performances bring that out incredibly well. The magnetic Cillian Murphy is a quick hook into the world of the film, but Jim Broadbent is the story's heart, and the eccentric but completely relatable character he paints is a treat to watch. Brendan Gleeson as the titular Perrier is, of course, great.
In short, the film is prime entertainment, whose believable setting acts as a portal into something very unique. Definitely recommended.
