Give it a shot...
This movie DOES get going. The start is, for whatever reason, pretty dragged out. I was enjoying the style of the movie and getting to know about the mortician character, so it had enough to keep my interest before the action kicked in later on. When it does, it's pretty brutal.
The story of this movie is not about the fact that he is a mortician at all. In fact, you could IGNORE that fact entirely and this movie would still make sense. So don't go into it expecting gore an a plethora of insight into the kind of people who do that sort of work. That said though I enjoyed the movie. Don't write it off, but don't expect a balls to the wall action flick either.
There's a lot of bashing goin on so I thought i'd show some love.
