A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This film fails miserably as a thriller. The characters are overblown and totally unbelievable in a story which goes from one exaggerated situation to another. The actors, every one of them, give good performances but due to the storyline appear to be acting in a series of clips (some of them little gems) with little continuity. If this film had been treated as a comedy along the lines of "The whole nine yards" it could have been very funny indeed, unfortunately it falls into the category of those films whose directors have used excellent actors in order to draw the audience but then uses them badly by not having fully thought the story through first to get an idea of how the whole thing will look on screen.
