“Not high art, not even exceptionally innovative, but a thoroughly enjoyable movie. Funny, fresh, intelligent – there are still people out there who donu0026#39;t need millions of dollars to hide that theyu0026#39;re out of ideas.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen you compare this to your average Hollywood action flick, youu0026#39;re comparing a homemade meal with a big mac.”
