This is pretty much a popcorn action comedy with various strands of life swirled through it. It is a good one. There are a lot of very good and recognizable actors involved. Even with the limited screen time they each get, the script is written well enough and the characters are played well enough that we get the impression that these are people with a past and a future rather than just cardboard stock characters. The mix of comedy, action, and romance reminded me in a way of The Whole Nine Yards, which also had Bruce Willis in it.
As an added bonus, while the trailer had a lot of good lines in it, and gave a starting point of the plot, it did not give away where events went from there. I had a good idea of the sort of movie I was going to see, and I was not disappointed to find otherwise. Instead there was the entertaining pleasure of not knowing what was next or how exactly it would end.
