Not a hit, man
By GreenwichPaul (49 reviews) from London , 26 Apr 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Director John Dahl has a couple of snappy thrillers under his belt, most noticeably, The Last Seduction, where he combined humour with film noir to create a terrific film. Here the accent is on the comedy with a bit of romance and thriller thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, despite promising to be a quirky black comedy this never really goes anywhere, it doesn't work as comedy, it certainly doesn't work as thriller and the romantic subplot feels forced and unrealistic. Dahl directs competently but he isn't working with much in the way of a script and the film, even at a trim 89 minutes, outstays its welcome- Was this review helpful to you?

Miscasting and a very so so script
By TezzaBJ (54 reviews) , 23 Jan 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
With the talent this film has it should have risen to much greater heights than this. I agree with other reviews - miscasting and not enough real laughs.- Was this review helpful to you?

Awful - no redeming features
By a customer , 20 Jul 2012This film is terrible. I wouldn't even describe the characters as one dimensional. The writers don't even achieve that.
There is no attempt to explore the moral aspects of the protaganist's life or to show why he makes the decisions that he does.
The characters behave in a bizarre inexplicable manner, which would be fine if we were somehow shown the reason, but we are not. So you end up with a sequence of tenuously connected and implausible events, involving characters with non-existent personalites.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well, that's 90 minutes of my life i'm not getting back!
By baldwithnonose (20 reviews) from Northampton , 01 Mar 2012OMG. I can sit thru most films but don't bother with this one! Unconvinving romance; no chemistry and bad casting. (Ben Kingsley, what ARE you doing here??!) Spurious plotline: Too disjointed and random - more like 2 films than 2 interwoven plots.
This film is trying really hard to BE something... but it's so bad i can't even fathom what that is!
Just watch something else!- Was this review helpful to you?
