Honestly don't see why the audience score is so high. Good actors, but I feel like the revenge story/cliche is getting old…

For a kick off Hartnett was a terrible choice for the lead. The twist is obvious from the get go. Kingsley and Freeman are great as always…

Decent movie. It was cheesy, which I didn't like. But, the ending was surprising. It was an okay movie, but not very memorable…

Too clever by half. It's the worst kind of con: It tells us it's a con, so we don't even have the consolation of being led down the garden path…

Loved twist plot. Impressively cast, well acted, funny and cleverly written dark comedy that is definitely worth a look…
