Superb.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2008)

It's rare to find a film that can go from hilarious comedy to dark violence and genuine emotion without compromising either the humour or the drama but this one does it time and again.
The cast are excellent, Gleeson is good as the sensible adult figure while Farrell is brilliant as the comic and immature lead. Farrell shows excellent comic timing and gets most of the best lines. The supporting cast are all good, everyone is believable.
The humour is often very politically incorrect but never in a nasty way, the dialogue is superb and there are some great set pieces and unexpected comic twists to catch you by surprise and make you laugh out loud.
The dramatic side handles a very dark and emotional subject very deftly with believable switches from humour to sadness and the leads really earn there money by pulling those switches off seamlessly.
There is a lot of action and violence especially towards the end and this throws in ideas that I had never seen used before.
If you liked the film "Intermission" you'll definitely like this, but this has more and better jokes and the plot is far more interesting.
I've rarely left a cinema feeling I got as much value for my money as I did with this film.
