Odd, but great

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2010)

After watching 5 minutes, I knew that this will be a great movie. Great conversations, great music, great atmosphere. 3 of the most important things for me when it comes to movies.
The only thing that stroke me as a bit odd, was the character Colin has been playing. A naive, childish, conscience-smitten killer with a short temper and a disposition to violence. Even though he was childish and naive, he still was skilled at flirting, and decently witty. An impossible to play character. Collin Farrel made the best out of it.
My other problem has been the story. The story isn't too bad, but I found, it had too many coincidences. But, if you don't really pay attention, and if you don't have to analyze everything to death (as I tend to do), you will probably not notice how empty the story is, simply because it is told quite well.
If you are a fan of cool gangster movies, like Tarentino movies, this might be for you. It's a great movie, but it's not as witty as a Tarentino movie. And sometimes the conversations seem a bit too odd.
