A very clever setup that invokes Get Shorty, Taxi Driver and some Tarantino-esque twists - this is a fun, though very violent romp, in the life of screenwriter, his best friend/killer, a mob boss looking for his beloved pet and a man who kidnaps dogs so he can pay for his wife's cancer treatment (and who also hides a tragic past). There's s lot going on here - but, man, is it ever well done. Characters, stories - it all comes together. The ending is a bit more abrupt than I would have liked, but overall, I was highly impressed.
