Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
