I was intrigued from the start, but then followed a second quarter filled with clichés to the extent that I started to think turning it off. Lucky me I didn’t.…

Entertainment! A great example on how to make an action comedy. The script is sharp and intelligent with good execution, and Jonah Hill is hilarious. Not sure if I liked…

I love movies like this. It doesn’t need a big budget, because it’s mysterious, stylish and well-acted. Tasty.
