Rarely have I seen a movie whose title sums up its own review so succinctly.
On the strength of several excellent reviews, I went to see this movie tonight. It was, in a word, awesome. It's completely ridiculous, but takes itself just seriously enough to work brilliantly. The acting is uniformly excellent (Yes, even Nicholas Cage), the action is properly hectic and fun, the characters are superb, and the soundtrack is perhaps the best I've ever heard from any movie ever (and I'm not the sort of guy who notices soundtracks regularly).
The movie is ultra-violent (of course), but not tremendously gory, and I was laughing out loud much of the time. I strongly strongly recommend that people check this one out.
