one of the darkest comedies ever!

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2009)

This film is a black comedy that is painfully funny.
The dialogue is witty, clever and downright hilarious. A different kind of role for Collin Farrel which he performs charismatically. For my money, Brendan Gleeson steals the show, in this film he is both a gentle and warm father figure as well as a hysterical best friend. Ralph Fiennes' is very funny as a London gangster, a role that he should be playing more of.
The only reason it doesn't get 10/10 is because the changes of tone are way too quick and some of the smaller roles disappear when we want to see more of them.
What we have here is one of the darkest comedies ever.
