My REVIEW:
Whilst the first 30 minutes or so are brilliant, and it really did get me interested, it doesn't build on that positive start. Instead, it indulges in pointless love tangents that don't go anywhere, and after a while the film becomes, quite frankly, tedious.
The plot is ludicrous, I realise it's a comedy but it should at least make sense, or failing that, actually be funny, yet it manages to accomplish neither. The teams strange fascination with the female news anchor seems crowbarred in, to explain why they went through with the assassination at the end, but neither are fully explained. So you have no reason to empathise with any of the characters, and your left, ultimately, not caring about who lives or dies.
Running time, to a certain degree, shouldn't feature in whether or not a film is good, but if the film is badly paced, and this one is, then it makes it feel much longer than it actually should be.
This is "a silly little movie", only it's not little, but a 2hr distraction that you'll forget 15 minutes after watching.
3/10

Oh and the soundtrack is terrible.
