It does indeed look like an interesting movie.

Unfortunately, it'll be like Casino Royale for me. I want to see it, she'd rather wait for the DVD. We compromise and wait for it on DVD.

Heh, reading your comment before watching the trailer I was thinking "Hmm, maybe a slight exaggeration on Tabs part" but no, that looks like it has potential to be a really entertaining movie.

I'm suprised I'd never heard of it before though, not even in passing. It seems like a must see movie for me 👍

I wanted to see this film based completely on a picture i saw last year. Will definately be seeing this soon!

I was unfortunate enough to watch on the plane back from Las Vegas, I strongly advise you: don't watch it, no really don't.

Spoiler

if you quickly glance over the storyline; mafia bosses protege tries to cut deal with feds, full immunity for selling out the mafia boss and all his associates, mafia boss hears about it a puts up a bounty on his head for $1,000,000, numerous assasins take up his offer, a bunch of different hitmen all after one guy, all taking place in one hotel, should be good....well it isn't the characters are so ridiculous you will laugh, but for all the wrong reasons, the action is alright but completely overly dramatic, the most impressive bit was a female assasin in a nearby building with a 50. cal sniper rifle . The main character the protege was pathetic, he looked like he would be better of dead in the first place, he does lots of fancy card tricks but it failed to impress me since they just looked fake and he just pulled perfectly shuffled trick decks out of nowhere every 30seconds. Worst of all the storyline which could have been kept simple for the sake of the action, the writer obviously thought he would have a crack at a 'the ussual suspects' style ending, bad choice he basically made really simple story try and sound clever and extremely complex, at least thats what he envisaged, what came across to me was a confused stupid and completely unnessasary twist (if you can call it that).

Maybe I am being slightly unfair since it was a long boring flight so maybe it made my review of the film a little to critical but either way I would not recommend this film, it looks good in the trailers but that is about it I am afraid.

Please do post a review of how you felt about the film, especially if you disagree with my review, just keep it as a review and not an argument.👍

I thought it was a highly enjoyable film, slow to kick off, but enjoyable. Kind of felt like a more action packed American version of the Lock Stock/Snatch genre. The story was pretty strong, it held together well if not a little confusing on occasions, the end was an interesting twist, personally I felt that the CowBoy ending (can be seen on the DVD extras) would be the way it ended, rather than how it did. They didn't make actors like Ben Affleck the star, in fact by doing what they did to him quite some time before the movie ended they did a good thing, made sure he wouldn't be some hero of the movie or some stupid quirk like that.

It didn't do anything for me. I don't even remember how much I didn't like it(I remember I didn't care for it). Jack from the show "Lost" was in there, and that was the highlight for me.
