Absolutely superb

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a film as much as this one.
The key premise is original, which is rare enough by itself, and when you add to that some good writing you get a great film.
There are some deliberately hammed up comic moments to lighten the mostly very dark mood of the film and these are genuinely very funny.
The action is often over the top, but not in a gory way, and it is interesting to watch the story unfold with the viewer having no more idea of what is happening and why than the protagonist.
The pace is quick enough that you never get bored and the ending is dark and nasty and twisted and surprising.
There is nothing bad I can say about the film.
