Just took this movie in last weekend.    Great movie.   Coen-esque, interesting, funny show.

I actually think it's better than the Coen Brothers stuff.  It's up there with Withnail and I.

I was considering picking this last night at the video store but ultimately went with Flawless with Micheal Caine.

Problem was it looked like it might have been a bit too much for our 14 year old, according to the 18+ rating and the staff at the store, what with what was described as continual swearing , drug use and one extremely violent scene.

Looked intriguing, though - good storyline.

Probably the right judgement in terms of the appropriatness.  Brilliant film though.

Just saw it last night and loved it.
To see Colin Farrell play against type (in touch with himself hero) was a treat and the same goes for
Ralph Fiennes, who was deliciously evil. Brendan Gleeson was great, as well, as always. I didn't recognize
the love interest for Colin, but she was very good: just her looks would convey entire lines of dialog.
A very good, dark comedy.
