I watched this film with high hopes, after all the media coverage of how awesome the film was. Perhaps I set my expectations too high.

The first half of the film was okay, nothing special at all, 3 out of 5 at this point. It was very slow moving, and the only thing that remotely interested me was the bad chap, with the coin-toss scene and the use of that gas powered thingy.

The film trundled along nicely and the story unfolded more like a tired moth than an excited and lively butterfly, and me and my mate were continuing to watch as there was the feeling that it was soon going to kick off and get going for real.

When that happens, it...well.. what to say?... A certain character dies unexpectedly, and from that point onwards, it’s like the writers themselves died, except in the few moments of random brain activity, they regurgitated random and unrelated scenes.

There was nothing clever about the ending, it was like someone said, "let's tell a story and end the film as if we were ennding a different story, totally disregarding the who of the story before it."

Maybe i watched a dodgy reel, where two films were spliced together, who knows.

If you like this film, including the ending, then fair play to you. But i think that sometimes people need to accept that just cos a film does something weird, it doesn’t necessarily mean it's good.

Terrible movie. Pointless plotless violence with an ending that makes everyone look at each other as though they've just been had... which we have. Save your money... and time.

This film was quirky and dark as you expect, but it didn't seem to me to be worthy of all the great things said about it. It is bette rthan the most recent Cohen movies but far from their best.
