I watched this movie on a Saturday night, because I had nothing better to do. Since it was scheduled for a Saturday night, I had very low expectations, but was very pleasantly surprised.
First of all, the cast were perfect for their roles, and second of all, I loved the fast-paced editing. Most importantly, the film was very funny, and an excellent satire of police action-dramas, particularly in the climax. The only problem was, it might have been a bit too clever. I found that I didn't connect to the characters very strongly as the acuteness of the satire often distracted me (albeit very entertainingly).
Good, light entertainment - for a modern generation, who still consider guns and bloody deaths light.
Lessons learned: There is such a thing as being too clever. Maybe audiences want to connect with characters first, ideas second.
