A fourth year film student with a chip on his/her shoulder will probably tell you that this film is simple, uninspired, derivative, gratuitous..... ignore him/her just like you always do and see this genuinely funny movie. It has an inspired performance by Willem Dafoe and enough new ideas to keep you glued. The social commentary should probably be looked at as more of a plot device than intelligent thought, but I found myself watching this movie repeatedly and enjoying it more the second and third time around. This is definitely a naughty pleasure for the movie enthusiast.

It took watching a YouTube video of Willem Dafoe talking about it with such affection for me to finally watch it.

Great stuff. Perfect casting. Fun, funny, different. A bit of a "Snatch" (one of my favorites) like tone, but still unique. Had an absolute blast watching it.

A solid movie. Good amount of action, but not to the point where it takes over the whole movie. Willem Dafoe has a wonderful character arc in it. While some of it does seem outlandish, none of it is to the point of being totally unrealistic, like most modern action movies. If you want a movie that will bring you a good laugh and maybe even question your own beliefs, this is a good pick.
