Some of the dialogue is wicked. Also deserving a mention is the enigmatic, deadpan Mr Reich, a German hitman who punctuates his killings with a dry, macabre humour. Director Joe Carnahan has original ideas which he is not afraid of putting into practice. This is not good, considering the convolutions that the plot undergoes. However, despite its dead patches, if you stay alert to it, you will be rewarded with some comic gems.
Someone give the man some real money to make a film.
