Excellent film with a mix of action, comedy, and even a little passion., 25 July 2004
8/10
Author: david peterson from Louisiana

This was one of the best films I have seen in a while. Peter McDonald and Brendan Gleeson's chemistry together reminded me of much better known and consequently higher cost Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

The movie showed me that having the well known actors shouldn't make the movie. If they are good actors, the script will make the movie, and effectively promote the careers of the actors.

The script did an excellent job of portraying the relationships between the characters involved.

Again this was one of the best movies I have seen in a while.
