Way too many blasphemous words, cursing and swearing throughout.


This would have been a good Film if they excluded all the swearing. Four or five swear words from the pimp and his hookers would have been understandable, but there is constant blaspheming throughout this entire movie from start to finish mainly from "Stu" (played by Colin Farrell) it's gross and because of that the movie is off-putting.

The writers had a good plot storyline, they could have written better dialogue, i know that they're better than that, they should have stopped being so lazy and used more interesting dialogue instead of the swear words.

Well, It was based in NYC and people are generally rude there so yeah you'd expect it to be foul mouthed. PLUS I think this movie is R rated for that specific reason. But it was a great movie.

Well, I'd probably be swearing a lot too, if I was being basically held hostage in a phone booth by a guy with a sniper rifle. That's a really hectic situation. I really can't blame anyone for swearing.

In real life that's how most people talk. It wouldn't look real with no swear words.
