Pretty Good Setup/Shoot'em up Movie

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2007)

This was an excellent respectable movie, that kept you guessing for most of the movie. In terms of box office, I think the biggest problem to seeing this is the name. While kind of clever, it tries too hard and is annoying, while some think that also describes the movie, I don't. The story, plot, and acting are all excellent, except that the ending is a bit too happy. To make it a truly great movie, there needs to be less rose and more thorns. The cast is phenomenal and more could have been made of character development. It did feel somewhat manipulative in the time line jumping, which always makes me feel like the maker's do not feel like they have a good story to tell. On this note, all perspective film makers, please see Italian Job. Overall an excellent movie and I would suggest it to just about everyone.
