Better than I expected, but not in anyone's top 10. Definitely Usual Suspects/Snatch-ish.

Non-stop action film full of surprises. Just when you think you've worked it out, the script moves you into unforeseen territory. The fight scenes feel very real and are brilliantly directed. It's funny and thrilling, and the soundtrack is superb.

I must be watching a different film to the other reviewers. Poor mans Snatch. Crap acting, crap story,crap visuals. Just crap.

This is a hybrid of a dozen other action/black comedy movies. Pointless wanna be movie making. It has more twists than a Tornado.

Bubblegum type of entertainment if your into that. No originality at all. Watch on fast forward and you'll get through it.

Or at least this is what the writer/director was probably dreaming his movie's reviews would sound like. Unfortunately the entire film is derivative and badly made, despite a cast with fantastic potential. Maybe the story is not that terrible, but it was telegraphed since the first few minutes. Then the killeresque stylish mystique, complete with individual quirks, contrived dialogues and complicated rules that don't mean much at the end. It would have been great if it would have been accompanied by good action scenes. Alas, they were shot from odd angles, cut at wrong places and censored for PG-13. This could have been a decent film with better actor direction and good editing.

Bottom line: it's not a terrible film, but it is a failure compared with its goal and considering the untapped potential of the cast. There are other films that merit your attention more.
