John A Massie's Review

Summary - Perfect 5.0

Best film of 2008. One of, if not the, best script of the ’00s. Part Black comedy, part hitman thriller, part interesting and thoughtful meditation on such themes as redemption, race, and morals. Fantastic achievment for all involved.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Perfect performances from the whole cast especially Colin Farrell.

Film - Perfect 5.0

Edge - Horrid 4.0

Not for the easily offended. However that is part of the film’s charms.

Reality - Glib 2.0

A couple moments here and there strech believability but nothing too unreal.

  Great review Finks.

  I’ve avoided this movie because the trailer was lame, and then it seemed like it played before half a dozen other movies, so I got really good and sick of it.

  But now I’m thinking I should check it out.
