Good movie for those who understands it, worse for those who doesn't. The storyline is heavy with a lot between the lines. The movie isn't really that long, but the action scenes are really good and realistic. There's also some amazing contrasts in this movie! A totally serious ex-hit-man baby sitting a 30 year old man. The scenery between grey and cold big town streets to happy and colorful outskirts. The humour in this movie is great too. The man the ex-hit-man is baby sitting has some very good comments and acts. The cast they choose for this movie is kinda strange too. The main character is played by a swede, same with one of the other character. The "baby" is played by the American actor Chris Penn. There's also an Australian actor among the main cast. To me this is the most original, hell, maybe even the best, British movie I've ever seen. And the type of concept it is built on is very rare and funny!
... View MoreI was supposed to see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) but instead I saw this one - and I don't feel disappointed at all. I'm surprised and delighted.I really liked this movie, because it made me feel not only joy but pity and sympathy as well. It never was clear what would happen next though everything that happened then was somehow self-evident afterwards.The main actor Stellan Skarsgård deserves extra mention. He was very credible in his role and his minimalistic expressions created the basis of this hilarious comedy.I have to give 10 out of 10 because this one needs more recognition than it gets. Don't get me wrong, it's close to what I would have given anyways.
... View MoreIn England, Felix (Stellan Skarsgard) is a hit-man who wants to retire after collecting the last words of his victims along many years of "hard work". He has just finished the training of Jimmy (Paul Bettany), but the weird leader of his crime organization does not want Felix to leave the "club" and orders the other killers to eliminate him. Meanwhile, Felix needs some cash and accepts a job of "babysitter" of Bubba (Chris Penn), a grown-up man raised like a child, who lives locked in a room, protected from the outside world by his father. Bubba moves to Felix's place and meets Sherry (Jacqueline Mckenzie), the girlfriend of Felix, and then he is introduced to the real world, drinking straight whiskey, meeting women and going to night-clubs. Meanwhile, the gang of assassins is trying to kill Felix. "Kiss Kiss (Bang Bang)" is a weird dramatic black comedy, using elements the "Rain Man" and some Quentin Tarantino movies, with bizarre characters. The whole cast has a great performance, I like black humor, but I did not like this story. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Um Beijo... Um Tiro." ("A Kiss... A Shot.")
... View MoreBy turns funny, poignant, violent and energetic, this film has many faces. In the same vein as Lock Stock, but not your usual London underworld flick the film includes gritty reality and, bordering on far fetched, sentimentality. Could become a cult classic.
