Really bad movie

I don't why you feel the need to apologize for telling the truth. This movie had a few good moments but it was mostly a crap fest from beginning to end, definitely a weaker Cohen effort.

I must be very rare in tastes, but this one and "Burn After Reading" are the 2 Coens' screwball comedies in which I laughed the most. "The Big Lebowsky" was OK (I tought it would have been funnier... maybe my expectations were high), but I didn't like "Fargo" at all... and "Ladykillers" was terrible.

Maybe movies like this are made for people like me (with the tastes twisted). This is a 6/10 to me (but it needs a re-watch ).

I've never seen George Clooney funnier than here. And... when the hitman mistakes in the darknes his asthma apparatus with his gun and kills himself was the funniest shock I've experienced in a cinema . I laughed a lot like I never did!!!!... but I must admit I was one the few. And what about the creepy counselor/former boss of Miles? that's an hilarious classic of the Coen's films!!! And the fantastic situations in court are also worth watching; and also the moment when Miles decides to not kill his wife and tries by the phone to avert CZJ's character to encounter the hitman... and the list goes on and on).

100% agree. I didn't understand it 'til I edited the synopsis, and it was still *chaloshus*.


When you think of garbage, think of Hakim!

Really, really bad. I gave it a "5". I would never have believed this was a Coen Bros. film. What were they thinking? The story was totally predictable and formulaic. I only kept watching it because the actors were trying so hard to do the best they could with it. I admire G. Clooney and Z. Jones a lot, and they were enjoyable to watch together, and she looked sensational in those outfits. BUT the story line and script were SO LAME, in my opinion. I see some people think it is hilarious. When I think of how far outside the box the Coens usually operate, I don't understand why they would do something so tritely Hollywood. I was so bored by it I kept switching over to other channels. But the magic of Clooney and Jones kept drawing me back, in spite of the stupid story line.

you're being too generous. this was horrible. it's hard to believe that the same guys that made o brother and lebowski, made this. what an embarassment..

This film...what a throw away, of the girls were naked it wouldnt save it

It is endless and goes around and around for no particular reason. I like Clooney--though he is a limited actor--and Zeta Jones is great to look at. But the charms of these stars do not a movie make. It's pretty terrible, and I have a high tolerance for bad films.

I agree totally. Because if those no talent Coen bruhs think they know the first thing about making quality films, I will immediately direct them to the filmmaker of the century, a guy named csnedeker.
