Great film or Greatest film?

I have not been left so fulfilled and in such a philosophical stupor by a film for a very long time.

Once you get past the horrendously mid-level acting, the script is so well written I actually haemorrhaged blood into my bladder. With no less than 5 B-movie stereotypes per 10lines of dialogue.

The camera work leaves nothing to be desired at any stage.

With a laugh a minute this film leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling to your very core.

The ever present joy of these wonderful pieces cack is that they can't afford to employ many people so, you have minimal credits to sit through whilst waiting for the non-existent after credit scene that doesn't set up the non-existent sequel.

10/10 would not recommend.
