I thought it was great


I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews on here. I just watched the film and I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was great and every actor did a fantastic job in their line delivery. A lot of people seem to be complaining about the storyline being all over the place and unrealistic, but I enjoyed that. Every time the characters turned around something unexpected happened and an already bad situation just kept getting worse. A lot of random, unpredictable sh!t happens in real life, especially if you hang around with a pack of gangsters! I found this film funny and surprisingly upbeat given the material. It was nice to have a relatively happy ending, as opposed to In Bruges (a great film which had a very somber and depressing end). It was also nice to see Cillian Murphy (who is one of my favorite actors) in a comedy as I'm used to seeing him in dramas and thrillers.

I agree. I just watched the film and found it thoroughly enjoyable for all the reasons you stated. It was offbeat, quirky, funny, unrealistic, and engaging. Cillian Murphy is also one of my favorite actors, so I enjoyed seeing him in this role. I also enjoyed Brendan Gleeson.
