First, I'll say that, if you don't like swearing in films (apparently such people exist) then don't touch this film with a bargepole. If one had a shot of vodka for each swear word, then one would be in a coma inside 30mins. Having said that, the film would lose a huge amount if the dialogue was not as it is. This is not your average film, it is unqiue in every sense of the word. The way in which it is shot is truly astounding, and Robert Carlisle and Samuel L. Jackson put in some of the best performances of their careers. Humour is a large part of the film, and is done subtly and well pulled off the cast. This film is slick, polished and action-packed and grabs your attention from start to finish. Rent it, you won't be disappointed.
