Tries hard to be like a good Quentin Tarantino movie but falls short. Pitt should have just Jason Statham to do this movie.
First of all, it seemed like a great segway back for Brad Pitt. Real good role for him, he did great! The other characters did a great job too. Went in with no idea of the story line , so at first I was like 'what is going on'. After I figured it out I really liked it. Fun characters and the scenes were interesting. Loved the twists of plot. Now - if you aren't into the 'Kill Bill' style of movie you may not like the blood and gore. I am not that into it , but this story had you going until the end so I tolerated it. I would definitely go see this movie again to go back over areas I might have missed.
F bomb dropped constantly by everyone. Poor story line. Hard to follow. Total waste of time.
We really enjoyed this. Lots of very funny moments and tons of action. I would see it again.
Funny tounge and cheek stuff ! Gory over the top ! Loved all the performances especially Brad !!!
Extremely smart and fun, violent movie :) Very much in the style of Guy Ritchie - lots of smart dialogue. Lots of twists and interconnections with the characters. You have to pay attention to get full value out of it. But you should be doing that anyway!!
Brad Pitt is spot on as the lethal contractor looking to chill out on what sounds like an easy gig. Even when faced with one former nemesis after another, he maintains a charming pjilosophical detachment not seen since Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. Action, humor, and good plot twists all work to elevate this above most action rivals.
The review.. So for the first third to maybe half the movie.. i meant to rate it 5 stars, not 1.
So the first third to maybe half the movie, i was like this is nothing special, it's ok at best. By the time the movie ended, i was like this was a really good movie. It really comes together and has a great ending. Look up the director of the movie. If you liked his previous ones, then you will probably really enjoy this one. Worth the price of admission and popcorn, which is very rare these days.
This was fun. Quirky characters in a quirky situation with plenty of action scenes. It was entertaining.
