Somewhat slapstick, but I think it was well written, nicely sequenced and the actors performed well. It was a great late night watch and I cannot complain.
I laughed my head off in more than a few scenes and I don't laugh easily ;) at most things that amuse others. For example, I found Fargo and Pulp Fiction to be hilarious!
Emilis has done a good job directing the film. A bit of Coen favor,some shades of Guy Ritchie and of course some inspiration from Tarantino.
Overall a good one time watch. unlikely to be a classic, but IMO much better than other stuff that masquerades as comedy!
