This is a good version of Shoot Em Up with fleshed out characters and natural dialog that doesn't feel like it was written by the screenwriters in a room while high fiving each other. Colin Farrel and Brendan Gleeson play so well of each other it is a joy to watch. Wickedly funny at times, no punches are pulled and no one is safe. Those expecting an action movie with tons of violence should looks elsewhere. Even though it all builds to a somewhat miscalculated and contrived conclusion all is forgiven because the stuff before was so damn good.
