Top CriticAn odd mingling of the old and the no-longer-quite-so-new, a picture that shows flashes of wit but as a whole doesn't hang together.

Wants to be one of these violent, manly yet provocative films, but unfortunately it unfurls as more of a big budgeted student film; a collage of borrowed images paying homage to great directors.

A two-hour marathon of deceit, murder and mayhem with absolutely no point or interest.

A wild, gory tale full of violence, to be sure. But it is also full of intrigue, and the distinctive stamp of a born storyteller.
