Surprisingly excellent

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2010)

Finally a film that lives up to the promise of the trailer! This film is more than just very funny and terrific (and very gory)entertainment, it has hidden depths.
It's a journey that starts from light-hearted funny teen-comedy then gradually becomes deeper, darker and more powerful as it goes on. I actually found the last 30 minutes or so to be powerful and emotionally moving.
The action scenes are brilliantly choreographed, the visual style is beautiful, the music is absolutely perfect - the combination of all 3 in synergy at times touch on perfect cinema and had me laughing with tears in my eyes - only a few films have ever achieved this.
Acting performances are also top-notch.
In short you get what you expect (refreshingly so) from this movie, and surprisingly a whole lot more!
