This movie is stupid and amazing

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2015)

Imagine if Quentin Tarantino directed a James Bond movie. This is basically the result of that. Like, you wanna see a good dumb action movie? This is a fantastic dumb action movie. Certainly had me grinning like an idiot. Maybe not for the entire thing, but certainly for a large majority of it. Anyway, despite how spectacularly absurd the whole thing is, there's actually some pretty good writing and acting in here. Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson in particular deliver some outstanding performances. Lot of people might take issue with how over-the-top violent it can get, so if you're sensitive to that sort of thing maybe pass on this, but personally it didn't get to me that much. There's a scene later on in the movie that nearly killed me with laughter over just how ludicrous it was.
