GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Dan Hall (thatlakinsonguy) I recorded this on television a while back, as I'm a huge fan of Simon Pegg's work and was interested to see him work with David Schwimmer, who directed Run Fatboy Run (another somewhat decent Pegg film).As previously mentioned, the cast is comprised of some pretty good lead actors (in my opinion), so I don't have much to complain about in the acting department.The cinematography and editing is also somewhat unique and makes for an interesting watch, although I remember one car drive sequence appearing somewhat jittery and all over the place.This film's biggest strength (other than the acting) lies mostly in the comedic writing. This film has some rather funny situational humour with a black subtext to it all, however it's definitely an acquired taste. Pegg and Schwimmer act out the material well and their delivery is, at times, extremely hilarious. The actual plot, however, shifts in tone dramatically and introduces a few too many plot twists. Some of these twists help carry the story forward or introduce another comedic sequence, but there were others that also felt unnecessary or tacked-on. At times it feels like issues with writing, whereas at other times it feels like a directorial issue.**MILD SPOILER ALERT**Without spoiling too much, I also found the ending to be rather bitter and somewhat unsatisfying. I left this film feeling rather depressed due to what happens to certain characters.Nonetheless, this film is a decent watch. It's definitely not great and not a highlight of any of the star's careers, but it is most definitely an interesting film, and personally one I am going to revisit to understand further.

Nuz_Reviews David Schwimmer (Ross from the TV show Friends) and Simon Pegg (dude from the Brit-comedies Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) star in a comedic action-thriller-crime British movie. And, yes, you can make out all the words they say; nothing like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (which is an amazing movie by the way). Mr. Pegg definitely put on an American accent for this role, which made sense given the movie setting was in a small town of Oregon. It was seriously every movie of that action-thrill genre kind mixed into one. It had all your typical police mishaps and silly story turns. During the movie they even made a parody bit out of The Matrix; I enjoyed it.The story was pretty basic. Two guys (David and Simon's characters) are struggling financially and meet at a call-center. Upon not wanting to work there anymore they decide to blackmail somebody. Nothing seems to go right after said "Plan A."Overall this movie was pretty well done. The acting was pretty decent too. Given that this was the French director's first real flick, guy's name is Jean-Baptiste Andrea, I thought he did a great job. The cut scenes were really cool, reminded me of Shaun of the Dead and Requiem for a Dream. Perhaps Simon helped.Ironically enough, the one Simon Pegg movie that I have not seen is Run, Fatboy, Run, directed by David Schwimmer. That's pretty cool that a year after Big Nothing that Schwimmer and Pegg decided to act together in a movie of their own.The movie also co-starred Alice Eve. She was in She's Out of My League, which is one of those movies that I refuse to watch. Eve did a great job in this too. And, she's definitely not rough on the eyes. If you're looking for a fun and quirky comedy, then I'd check out Big Nothing.Fun fact from the film's Wikipedia page: "Big Nothing was filmed over thirty-two days in January 2006, and had its world premiere at the Cardiff Film Festival on November 18, 2006. Released in the United Kingdom and Ireland on December 1, 2006, the film had its European market release on March 15, 2007, but was never released in cinemas in America. Rather, it was released on DVD on June 12, 2007."

neil-upto11 Now don't get me wrong; I thought 'Hot Fuzz' and 'Shaun of the Dead' were fantastic films. Really top drawer. But Simon Pegg has been in some absolute stinkers since and this one was scarcely better.I am genuinely confused by the 10/10s that are being lavished on this feeble mix of contrived threads. I mean, the basic structure has been lifted from 'Shallow Grave' and so it cant really lay claim to much credit on that whole seam of 'dark comedy'.I very quickly got tired of the 'oh-my-god-this-is-happening... oh-no-it's-not-happening-phew' schtick.Simon Pegg is capable of doing a pretty good accent but in this I thought it was a bit painful.All in all; not that funny and the best of the drama was 2nd-hand.Shame too because I would have loved to have loved it.

vod_kao This movie combines the conspiratorial view of Ocean's Elevent with the gory massacre of American Psycho. What at first looks as a neat, clean plot-line gets very complex, with a lot of things going way out of the ordinary. Every single scene and line in the movie is very nicely done. Hilarious but yet scary and full of violence. A real masterpiece. It is a must for the fans of the dark humor. Great thing about the movie is that it is not at all hard to watch. From the beginning to the end it keeps you watching but not intensely. You watch because you like what you're seeing. Great actors, great script, great movie! One of the few good ones from 2006!!!
