I just watched this and Im surprised at the bad reviews,Ok it wont win any Oscars but it entertained me for 85 minutes or so and that's what it's all about really,each to his/her own I suppose
shareI thought it stunk. The cop should have been cast differently IMO. He seemed very out of character. It just didnt seem funny and the drama aspect was unrealistic. Ah well, I'm off to teletubbies.com to put together a crime syndicate. Toodles! :D
shareThe acting is horrendous.
shareI liked it as well. It was an enjoyable diversion and even enjoyed the frustrated cop.
I'm so tired of the club scene... So are the baby seals.

are you kidding? the lead characters (both the good guys and the bad guys) gave absolutely terrible performances--not that it would have mattered much with the quality of the dialog.
bad acting + bad writing = bad movie.
and it's because studios perceive the general public as too unintelligent to be discerning about the media that they consume, that they continue to produce this kind of crap. and people like you prove them right.
maybe you like to sit down in front of the tv and just shut off your brain for an hour and a half, but some of us still like films/tv with some artistic/intellectual substance. call me crazy, but i like mentally stimulating films, and i think that movie studios should have some basic standards that don't insult the intelligence of audiences.
honestly, this film seemed like it was written and directed by high school students. high production values don't mean anything when the entire movie is filled with idiotically contrived dialog--like trying to sound edgy by talking about popular drugs and randomly throwing around pharmaceutical terms without having a clue about what they are.
ignorance may be bliss, but it doesn't stop you from looking like a complete moron.

You must realize that this was an independent film... right? This wasn't about some studio throwing together a film just for stupid consumers. It was an independent writer/director making his vision come through. Now, you may not like his vision, but this film is exactly the opposite of what you seem to think it is. It's a low budget film made to tell a story a studio would never waste it's time on. For a small budget indie film it was pretty good. I agree there were a lot of things that could have been improved if the budget and talent was readily available, but overall it wasn't bad.
I liked the movie. :P
sharethis movie rocked, on a par with phonebooth
its a great comedy, yeah the acting might have been a bit loose but it was still very entertaining. watch a blockbuster movie if you want pristine and clinical acting and very few laughs, or watch great independant movies if you want grtty and loose stuff thats packs a good laugh.
allin all one of the best movies of the year so far :)
I was entertained felt pretty short to me actually, no truely dull moments.
Chick was as hell, movie kept going, decent amount of violence to keep me happy.
Little odd and different but defenently an ok movie that shouldnt be so badly shot down. I almost avoided watching this cause of the idiots on this board, but goes to show bout 95% of the time people on here are idiots...
I quite liked it and a few bits had me laughing out loud - humourous and entertaining I couldn't ask for more.
Some people must start watching films with such high expectations these days. I was only worried that it would be more of a thriller so the comedy element was right up my street!
