Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe masked killer on the bridge throws down two playing cards. In the first shot, those playing cards have a pattern on their back. In the counter shot (showing how the cards land) the cards have matching front and back - both sides show the jack of diamonds. This was probably done to not have to go through repeat takes until the cards landed with the jacks facing upwards.
- Crazy creditsA surprise final scene interrupts the closing credits a few seconds after they start.

Featured review
Great movie for us "quirky" lovers
I'm a big Christopher Walken fan &he's the only reason I watched this film. Also starting Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson & Sam Rockwell was extra icing on the cake. Great performances by all, but Sam Rockwell was superb. Of course I loved Walken as I always do.
This movie had me howling with laughter at times & scratching my head at others, but thoroughly entertained.
If you like quirky, silly, and very dark/violent comedy you will love this movie. If your forte are serious, life lessons or social statement films, don't bother, the humor will be lost on you.
This film well deserves 8 stars in my book.
