one thing i dont see mentioned very much on this board is that this is a comedy. people are complaining about the coincidences and some people are trying to argue that they arent coincidences. but this is really missing the point. is it supposed to be a little goofy. it is supposed to have some strange coincidences. it all depends on your tastes whether you find it funny or not. i personally thought it was quite hilarious. sure you could cut off the last 15 minutes or take out some of the twists. that would make it a lot more serious, but also a lot less funny.

Loved it too. I hate action movies but as you deduced this was almost a farce. very funny. Neither my wife nor I could remember who odered from Netflix. She might have thought it was an anction movie which she likes; or I might have read something about it in the New York Review of Books or the London Review.

Anyway I loved it.

It was very funny and I don't mean that in a bad way like when a movie is unintentionally funny. I think the writers intended it that way. IMDB just failed to classify as one.
