Like I said don't go in expecting a deep story with strong characters.  Just turn your brain off and enjoy.  It's a lot of fun.

Just rented this movie and it kicked ass, any movie that starts off with a dude getting killed with a carrot goes at the top of my "Kick ass movie" list. I haven't seen such a great over the top action flick in a while and this certinatly took the cake in just about every category, plus it has Monica Bellucci and I have a total thing for that women.
P.S. I am from now on walking around with a carrot in my pocket at all times.

I want to watch this but it just seems too similar to one of my favourites Children of Men ... and I think I'll end up disappointed  :bluesad:

Nada, it's not similar to Children Of Men by any means.  Children was a thoughtful drama while this film is just thoughtless fun.

I caught it about a month ago, a few weeks before the DVD release.  I enjoyed the hell out of it.  It's dumb, fast and actually contains a good bit of violence which is rare these days.  It's not a watered down action film, and I applaud it for that.  It also has it's tongue firmly in cheek and the humor is spot on.  One liners, and sight gags galore.  To be honest, it's the best gun porn since Hard Boiled.

I watched the film on a 22" HDTV and the film looked crisp even in standard definition.  Once I upgrade to a larger HDTV and invest in some sort of HD DVD medium then this will be the first flick I pick up.

Plus, you can't beat gun battles set to the music of AC/DC, Wolfmother, Nirvana, and Motorhead.   :hot:

Another reason this movie's so incredible: if WyreWizard ever watches, you just know it'll make his head explode.  :wink:

You probably already know this, but if you like Bellucci, you NEED to pick up a copy of the unrated version of Malena. 

God, I envy that young boy...

The only small gripe I had was with the decision to go with digital blood and gore effects in a lot of the movie instead of practical stuff.   While it did go hand in hand with the almost video game feel of the movie at times, there were a couple of particular shots that I was astounded at how bad the digital blood work was.

But still, great movie nonetheless.

Yeah, digital blood really grinds my gears too, but at least there was a lot of squib work too. I think that when they could, they stuck with the squibs as much as a possible. I don't know if he was joking or not, but in the DVD's making of featurettes, there's a point when someone says that the squib budget alone was something like $7000.
