I had the opportunity to watch this film without knowing anything about it at all, and found it to have a wonderful sharp satirical humor that had me flat constantly. Its slasher element makes it a weird hybrid of a movie, but one which I thought worked fine.
I'm sure there's some Author's Message with various covert government (psychotic) operatives starting to bludgeon each other to death being some kind of symbol on the eight years of the Bush administration (that's how I read it, anyway), and I love that I can't quite figure out if the elements carrying the day at the end are good guys or bad guys.
Let's not deny that maaay-be there's a couple of lines, they could've worked a little more on, or that there may be a plot hole here and there, but in the overall, I fail to see why it's being hammered the way it is by some users here. Except, if the film was sold the wrong way to people as some popcorn comedy, you can watch with your partner (which I wouldn't do with this one), but then it's a studio's bummer, not the film's. Just being its own, the film works fine all the way through. To me, anyway.
