7/10

maybe Walkers' best film...

surreal fairytale taking place in the modern world. devilishly over the top characters...especially the baddies. this movie is 2 hours of freakish fun and it just doesn't let up from beginning to end. totally loved the fact that good triumphs over evil in this movie. haven't watch a movie this enjoyable in a long time and i watch lots of movies. OK...so its not an Oscar worthy film, but boy is it good. some of the action scenes are totally original.....enjoy the action scenes, they are really really well done. lots of action for the action junkies and it doesn't let up as a superb thriller as well. for all you people like me who just happened upon this movie and are not huge Walker fans...boy are you going to be surprised how good this movie is.

SPOILER.........If Joey was an undercover officer, why did he not report the gun to the New Jersey cops instead of running around all night trying to avoid the cops and the mob?
