for some reason that i really cant understand why it has taken me soooo long to get around to watching this film and i am now very glad that i have gotten around to seeing it
this film is effectively a bond film but pushed to its logical extreme level
there is buckets of blood,booze and harsh language all over the place
the film centers around a carrot munching hero clive owen who saves a pregnant lady who gives birth in the middle of a gun fight and then effectively goes on to adopt the baby with his lactating hooker girlfriend monica bellucci as they try to protect the child from a truly mental paul giamatti
giamatti chews up the screen at every turn and is gloriously entertaining as the over the top villain and clive owen looks all the part a bond clone and it seems all the more baffling why daniel craig was chosen to play bond when this man seems like a much more appropriate choice after watching this film
this film scores high points across the board, the soundtrack is a great thumping rock beast that fits brilliantly with all the chaos taking place on the screen
tight and efficient direction and pretty slick looking special effects
the only casualty is the absurd plot,but everything about this film is so ridiculous that it doesnt really matter
just sit back and let your brain take an hour off to enjoy this basketcase of a film
an effortless 7/10
