Very funny but also a bit of a bad movie.
Funny, especially because of McGuigan's direction and the voice-over. Nice English swearing throughout the film makes for some funny scenes.
But the film also has something eerie. And that really only has one reason: Paul Bettany. Incomparable character. Cool, tough and fearless, the perfect gangster. Excellent interpretation.
Could have been a little harder at times, but the balance between light-heartedness and gloomy pulls the whole thing to a higher plane.
Spacious 3.5*
