A great crime dark-comedy

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2008)

This was a really good dark comedy. The story is unique and takes place in a beautiful setting, a nice contrast considering the ensuing bloodshed. The acting is good from everyone, and both Gleeson and Farrell make a great pair of hit men. It was also very nice to see Fiennes posing as a highly charged and funny crime-boss, despite his rather brief appearance.
The humor, though subtle, is also good and consistent throughout the movie (clearly taking aim at America/Americans in a few instances). The director mixes all these elements well, delivering a beautiful (kudos to the cinematographer), engaging & entertaining dark crime comedy.
Overall, I rate this as the best Colin Farrell movie, and my favorite movie of 2008 so far.
