Felt a little rushed at the end...but still a fun movie.

I really dont know what it is about this movie but something about it just puts a smile on my face the whole time. It really is a "fun" movie that has plenty of good lines mixed with a good soundtrack. I just felt when the dad is revealed as the hit the movie started to feel a little rushed. I think they should of streched out the part where minnie driver is scared of him because she knows he is a hitman. It just felt like one second she was calling him a psycho then the next he is asking her to marry him (well after a lengthy shoot out that is). But that is me just nitpicking a movie that I find to be just a real fun ride.

the most memorable scene for me is when Cusack kills the hitman with a pen and then Driver's character bumps into him.

This film makes me smile too. Some cool action scenes and some really funny parts as well. 8/10 for me. Cusack and Aykroyd are a bonus..... ;)

Yeah, I agree that the ending happened slightly too quickly, with Grosser trying to wack the dad as he jogged. There were a few small flaws in the movie, but it's definitely one of my favorite films, and very well done! Also, the script is terrific and very clever, and all of the characters are a lot of fun, including the government agents.

I'd give it a strong 8 as well! Cusack and Aykroyd have perfect chemistry and were a blast to watch. If there ever is a sequel, I hope it's close to as good as this one was. Aykroyd will be hard to top, as will the originality of the film, but if the writing and direction is good, we could have another winner. War Inc had its moments, but was a bit too goofy and over the top for me.

I'll forgive the slightly rushed ending as it had Dan Aykroyd speak the line "Workers of the world unite!" Pmsl.

It's a GREAT movie, very funny, and always puts a smile on my face.

I agree, one of Cusack's best imo.
