A struggling screenwriter (Colin Farrell ) inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends (Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell) kidnap a gangsters (Woody Harrelson) beloved Shih Tzu.

Review

I see the words Ȭult classic" in this movie's future. At the very least I'll be adding this to my collection of movies such as Kick Ass Pulp Fiction Zombieland and Hot Fuzz that I love to watch over and over.

You know from the very first scene that this is not your typical Hollywood junk. It was HYSTERICAL albeit in a pretty sick and twisted way this is not for the faint of heart. The woman behind me must not have seen the previews because she got up and left. I'm going to have to see it again this weekend just to catch some of the witty oneliners that I couldn't hear over the roaring laughter. The audience even applauded when it ended.

The script is razor sharp and you couldn't dream up a better cast to bring it to life. I've always liked Sam Rockwell but this was a starmaking turn for him (at least in my book). You've never seen a movie quite like this. I see a new movie nearly every week and I rarely feel compelled to sit down and write a review. So take my advice do yourself a favor and go see it!
