Brilliant Dark Comedy

I love dark comedies. Hot Fuzz is one of my favorites. This is another. I was really surprised how many people didn't like it but I've seen it several times over the last 15 years and each time I get a greater appreciation for how well-written and acted it is. "Enjoyable" often depends on the viewer's mood, expectations, attention, etc. so that can play into people's reactions to it. Both the cast and the script are superb. It's okay if others didn't appreciate it. I surely did.

The whole movie is entertaining, but the vegas stuff is the best.

It's very dark and violent, lots of very bad stuff happens - too much for some people. Personally I loved it.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

Their stupidity is hilarious. The killings,are disturbing but I think the point is once you cross the line, you are screwed. If the law doesn't get you, karma will or your fear and conscience will drive you nuts.
